Re extending FORMA battery life:
I looked up how to extend life of a Li-On battery and here's my plain English summary.
I don't understand some of it, so other people's expertise v welcome!
1. Use partial-discharge cycles, instead of full charge or discharge
- Best to recharge when the device gets down to 70-80% full
- Don't let it discharge to 0%
- But also avoid charging to 100%
2. Especially
avoid "Deep discharge".
I haven't managed to find a plain English description of what this means in practical terms. Open to someone explaining it!
I assume it might be about letting it discharge to 0%?
3. Don't charge at
temp extremes, esp below 0 degrees celcius (freezing point)
4. Avoid
high charge/discharge currents (Not sure what 'discharge currents' means)
