- Always use charging bag
- Always monitor charging (you may stop and start the charging process if necessary)
- Always remove from charger when full
- Always stop using the battery and recharge after about 10 minutes or five 90 second play sessions
- Always unplug the battery from the drive when not in use
- Always use the fully charged battery in 2-3 days
- Always store the battery at around 11.4v and be sure to charge and discharge it every three months while in storage.
