How do I charge and store the batteries?Updated 2 months ago
LiPo batteries require more care than other battery types. Follow these tips to ensure their longevity:
- Charge the batteries fully only right before your session.
- Never leave batteries completely empty or fully charged overnight, as this can shorten their lifespan.
- If you won’t be using the batteries for an extended period, set them to Storage Mode (2–3 LED lights).
- Perform a full charge cycle at least every 3 months and then set the batteries back to Storage Mode.
- Remove the batteries from the charger as soon as the charging or discharging process is complete.
Charging the batteries:
- Switch on the charger.
- Insert the batteries into the dock (check + and -). The batteries must be switched off.
- Press the round buttons on the charger.
Charging or discharging to storage mode (2 or 3 LED lights):
- Switch on the charger.
- Insert the batteries into the dock.
