If you notice any leakage, swelling, or deformation, stop using the battery immediately and dispose of it safely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e· Avoid physical damage: \u003c\/b\u003eProtect the battery from physical damage, such as drops or squeezing, as these may damage its internal structure and pose safety risks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e· Purchase from official channels: \u003c\/b\u003ePurchasing batteries and chargers from formal channels helps avoid counterfeit and substandard products, which often lack safety guarantees and are risky to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e· Charging environment: \u003c\/b\u003eIt is best to charge batteries at 20±5\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Cambria Math',serif; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Cambria Math';\"\u003e℃\u003c\/span\u003e. Avoid charging in direct sunlight, humid, or dusty conditions. Keep the charger away from flammable materials to prevent potential fire hazards during charging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e· Follow the instructions: \u003c\/b\u003eAdhere closely to the battery usage and charging guidelines in the manual to ensure optimal performance and safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e· Safe battery disposal: \u003c\/b\u003eDispose of old batteries properly — do not throw them away carelessly, especially not expose them to fire or high temperatures. Follow local regulations and take them to a designated recycling center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e· Keep away from children: \u003c\/b\u003ePrevent accidental swallowing, which could be life-threatening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to prolong the battery life?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThere are mainly the following ways:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e1. For lithium-ion batteries, it’s best to use shallow charge-discharge cycles to avoid over-discharge. NiMH batteries have the memory effect, so frequent charging can reduce their capacity. To maintain their performance, they should be fully discharged periodically before charging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e2. Avoid leaving batteries unused for long periods, especially inside devices, as this can lead to over-discharge and shorten their lifespan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e3. Keep batteries away from extreme temperatures, whether during charging or storage. High temperatures can increase internal pressure and cause explosions, while low temperatures can affect battery performance and lifespan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e4. Do not mix different batteries in the device to avoid uneven discharge and reduced battery performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e5. Periodically clean the battery terminals and charger ports with a dry cloth. This ensures proper charging and discharging and prevents dirt from affecting performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e6. While fast charging is convenient, frequent use can speed up battery aging. Try to use standard charging methods and smart chargers that can auto-match the optimal charging current.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e7. Some devices come with the battery management system(BMS) that intelligently manage the charging and discharging process to extend battery life. It’s also important to ensure the BMS is working properly.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/owlpower.co.nz\/collections\/tips-prolonging-battery-life.oembed","provider":"Owl Power","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
