Storage voltage for LiPo batteries is 3.8v per cell - the LiPo battery is most stable at this voltage. The usable voltage range for a standard LiPo battery cell is 3.2v to 4.2v. Any lower than 3.2v - the battery may be permanently damaged Any higher than 4.2v - the battery may be permanently dam...

A general answer is that you can expect to replace the battery about once a year. A realistic approximation of a LiPo battery’s lifespan should consider both its number of charge cycles and its age (as well as proper use and storage.) In any case, a LiPo battery is deemed to be past its useful l...

The battery for your SwiftPaws device is a battery pack - it will have either 3 cells or 4 cells depending on which one you have. Maximum charge is 4.2V per cell - Minimum charge is 3V per cell. See the information below to calculate the total voltage: Home Original is a 3 cell battery pack - t...

Why you would NEVER fully discharge the battery before recharging & why you would never continue to use the battery until it quits working. Lithium polymer (LiPo) batteries do not need to be fully discharged before charging.  Discharging them below 3.0 volts per cell can permanently damage t...

The short reason you should always charge the battery to maximum capacity before use is - because the last stage of the charging cycle is to balance the voltage between the internal cells. The LiPo battery has internal cells. While you are using the battery - it may discharge one cell faster than...
