Hi,Hi,
I have several batteries for my e leaf pico. It is li-ion batteries?
I did read that you shouldnt store them fully charged and every six months you need to recharge them to 50-75%.
I wanted to ask if there is a device which does that stuff by itself?

yeah. The battery university! Thats some serious stuff!
My charger shows only percentage. Into what percentage will 3.7V translate? And how can I decharge?
I dont smoke and vape at all at the moment. Actually since 6 months. Yesterday evening I tested the batteries. 4 of them were still like 95% full, one was 65 % and another was around 45%. So what I did was charging the 45% one to 75%.
I didnt think that most of the batteries will have 95%... Its good that the lithium ions batteries hold the charge so long.
But another thing is that I did read that you shouldn't store the batteries longterm in fully charged condition.... I did read that its easier for them to burn like that and I think there was said something about a chemical reaction when they get stored fully charged?
It seems like this battery stuff is pretty delicate if you want to handle it right. Is there maybe a charger which you can program on the computer? Because with the charger that I have now, I can only charge the batteries. I think thats a bit unpractical.
You can try doing what I've done with mine. Buy a plug in Xmas light timer and plug your battery charger. Set the timer to turn on for about 15 minutes a day to charge the batteries. Li-ion batteries have no memory like alkalines do. My batteries are kept ready to go. Also, if you don't have a charger large enough for all, rotate the ones you do use thru a normal charger. Try to keep as many as needed for mods to be able to work daily, with a battery swap every morning. Also, letting a li-ion battery die every once in a great while won't kill it, just helps it come back to full faster, plus helps it last longer!I dont smoke and vape at all at the moment.
