When you buy a Lithium-ion battery for your stylish digital camera, how do you prepare your new battery pack and prolong its life? A new Lithium-ion battery does not need cycling through charging and discharging. Keep your Lithium-ion batteries in a cool and dry storage area. Refrigeration is recommended but freezers should be avoided. When refrigerated, the battery should be placed in a plastic bag to protect against condensation. Do not fully charge Lithium-ion batteries before storage. Keep them partially charged and apply a full charge before use. Store Lithium-ion batteries at about 40% state-of-charge. Do not store Lithium-ion battery fully depleted. If empty, charge for about 30 minutes before storage. Self-discharge on a depleted battery may cause the protection circuit to trip, preventing a recharge. Do not stockpile Lithium-ion batteries; avoid buying dated stock.
