Best Practices for Charging, Maintaining, and Storing Lithium Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries should not be charged or stored at high levels above 80%, as this can accelerate capacity loss. Charging to around 80% or slightly less is recommended for daily use. Charging to full is acceptable for immediate high-capacity requirements, but regular full charging should be avoided.
