How should I store my battery?

If you’re not using your battery for a long period of time (e.g. going on holiday) you can extend the lifespan of the battery by following the tips below:

• The ideal state of charge for maximising battery lifespan is 35-40%. If you’re going away for less than two months, charge to 45% before storing. We recommend you do a top-up charge every two months to avoid the state of charge getting too low.

• Before storing, ensure the battery is in hibernation mode. To put the battery in hibernation mode, hold down the power button for a few seconds until the battery lights turn off. To take the battery out of hibernation mode, hold down the power button until the battery lights turn on.

• Store in a cool place. Don’t store below freezing but close to freezing is ideal.
