Best Practice for Charging Spare Battery

Best Practice for Charging Spare BatteryI know that with lithium batteries your charging routine can impact battery life.I have two batteries. When it's time to replace the active one, I exchange it with the spare.What's the best practice with the spare when it comes to extending its life? I can think of three possible options:1. Leave it charging until it's needed.2. Leave it discharged until shortly before needed and charge it then.3. Charge it right after removal from the doorbell. Then do a "touch up" charge right before use.Thanks.

That sounds easiest. But I've just done some reading, and universally the "experts" say it's best to store lithium batteries approximately 50% charged. Storing them at full or empty will shorten their life.

Hey there @fssbob. Thank you for sharing that information. However, it will be difficult to gauge when your battery level is at 50%, as there is no way to measure this unless you insert the battery into the device.

Well, most of the articles I found actually gave a pretty wide range around that. I think it mostly comes down to not being close to 100%, but also not being close to zero.
