Lithium-ion batteries deliver high performance and long life. High energy density equates to more power in a smaller and lighter package. Low self-discharge means lithium-ion batteries can retain their charge for longer periods of time when not in use. High-quality, lithium-ion cells resist the self-discharging normally associated with rechargeable batteries. Models with an LED battery-charge status indicator allow you to check remaining charge level with a glance.

Battery chargers restore the energy in a battery by running an electric current through it. Different types of batteries require different charging protocols, such as voltage, current, and duration. Using an incompatible charger can damage your battery or reduce its performance. You should always use the charger that came with your battery or equipment, or one specifically designed for your battery type and model.

To prolong the life of your battery, you should charge your battery when it reaches about 20% of its remaining charge. This will help maintain the optimal performance and health of your battery. Extreme temperatures and humidity can affect battery performance and safety. You should remove batteries from your equipment during the winter and store them in a cool, dry place. Ideally, keep them in a partially charged state (about 50%) to prevent self-discharge or overcharge.
