What is the best way to charge a Lithium ion battery for maximum battery life?

by metalkpirate1day

I recently bought a new cell phone with a lithium ion battery. The sales person said I should plug it in each night in any case of how much I use it. My previous cell phone’s manual said to occasionally completely discharge the battery before charging. I do not retract what kind of battery it had. My new cell phone manual dosen’t mention anything at all about charging. Should I fully discharge the battery before charging or is it safe to charge nightly and still get a long life out of the battery?

With any battery you should occasionally discharge the battery before recharging. But with this type of battery it can be rejuvenated nightly. I usually only charge my battery when it gets low.

To make your batteries last the longest: first time charge is usually overnight as it is slow as heck…HOWEVER you DO need to condition your batteries at the beginning, and each 2-3 months for optimal routine. To condition a battery – let it run down to DEAD DEAD DEAD then recharge fully on a wall (plug in) charger. Do that 3 times in a row. Do NOT use your car charger to condition – each time you stop your car and restart that interrupts the charging cycle and is hard on your battery. For the same reason never leave it connected to your car charger continuously. If you want max life, don’t expose to freezing or overly hot temperatures as rapid temp changes and overheating can shorten battery life. That goes for both ni-mh and li-ion batteries. You had it right the first time, so keep doing what you did with your ‘ancient’ battery. The only time I ‘top off’ mine is if I’m going to be going somewhere there is no charger, or I expect to use my entire phones’ power supply while out of the house. Other than that, it goes dead to one bar before i recharge. my battery is 3 being ancient and going strong.

try talking to whoever you bought the cell phone from and see if the cell phone came with any kind of instruction book. and if not then question the previous title-holder if he/she knows what to do as far as what you want to do with your phone excellent luck
