Charging your triton

[julielynne]

Does it matter if you charge it when it's not really dead yet? Does it deplete the life of the battery if you do that or constantly just keep it charging. I have a 900mah. Or should I just get a spare and let one of them fully drain?

You can charge when you want. You should get the spare anyway, backups for backups... You don't want to have a serious nic fit and come up with a dead battery...

julielynn, you are lucky the tech today is so advanced. The bats won't let you discharge them too far. The charger won't let you overcharge.

The only thing these batteries really don't like is temperature and water. Don't charge them freezing. And don't let them get hot. Don't leave them in your car. And don't drop them into a puddle, tub, toilet, stock pot, or margarita.

Keep them clean. Clean the threads, keep the top shiny and dry. Some isopropyl alcohol on a swab to clean the top before charging is good. Keep the "moat" clean (around the center post). A drinking straw is the right diameter.

Other than that, enjoy.

These types of batteries have no 'memory.' Doesn't make a bit of difference if one charges them when at 90% or 0%. They should last about 300 charge cycles, meaning a complete drain and charge 300 times, or 600 charges at 50%, or any combination- like cell phones...

Ditto on getting a spare batt....nothing worse than only having one and it needs to charge and you're left with.....nothing
