Simple Guidelines for Battery Maintenance.
1. When allowed to discharge and charge regularly, the end
user will experience a better Battery life span (or cycle).
2. Lithium-ion batteries do not need to be fully charged; as
the charger can aid its performance.
3. Shallow discharges provide more cycles than deep discharges.
4. It is recommended to fully charge the unit (4-6hrs)
before a lengthy field test is performed.
5. As a general rule, it is best to charge the battery both before
and after each use. There is no memory effect, so it is a good
practice to recharge the unit after each use, or at the end of the
day - if used daily.
