Caring for Lithium Batteries

Although wireless charging is here for some and around the corner for others, the life of the lithium batteries we use today will be affected by it. The best way to care for you lithium batteries the ones commonly found in our phones today is to keep the charge past 50{463c70c279fb908728b910a090d44fbe4ae7aabcd875de9c1a518a8c8e2be8bd}. Constantly taking your charge from full to empty like we did with older batteries will degrade it faster, it’s recommended that it only be done about once a month for calibration. It’s also good practice to disconnect the charge before it reaches a 100{463c70c279fb908728b910a090d44fbe4ae7aabcd875de9c1a518a8c8e2be8bd} and leaving it charging after it’s been filled is another way to slowly kill off your battery life. If you’re at your desk in front of a computer it’s better that you charge through the USB port because it’s a much slower charge and will last longer as well (trickle charge). If possible try to keep the batteries as cool as possible and never let them hit rock bottom otherwise they could become unstable and useless.
