There are several things that can be done to maximize battery
performance. Your device's manufacturer will have more detailed
information, but here are a few general tips to help you get
started:
-
Properly "condition" your battery when it is new by fully
charging it the first time.
-
Keep your device, batteries and the contact terminals clean. The
contacts can easily be cleaned with cotton swab and rubbing
alcohol.
-
Avoid exposing the battery to extreme heat and cold.
-
Use the battery. If possible, avoid letting your battery sit
dormant for long periods of time.
-
Use only the device options and accessories that you really
need.
- If the battery is to be idle for an extended period (a month or
more), store it in a cool, clean location. Recharge it fully upon
re-use.
