?'s about charging this battery..Directions say charge overnight for first 4-5 cycles and then once every 3 months? Should I not plug it in daily?

When been stored you charge once every three months. You can plug it in daily if need be. I personally plug in when I'm down to 10%-15%. I'm assuming charging overnight is recommeded because the battery needs to be charged for 10-12 hours to be fully charged.

I recharge mine every night. Lithium-ion batteries do not need a full discharge and recharge to maintain its battery life. Whether you discharge it 25%, 50% or 75% before charging it doesn't effect the life of the battery. I've had this battery for a year of constant use and it still works awesome.Overcharging or discharging too low is bad for the battery but most phones stop charging or shutoff before this is an issue.

I drained my battery 100% the first 4 charges. I wouldn't recommend plugging it in everyday as it can decrease the life of the battery. Once your battery is drained to 5-10% after your first 4 full drains, You'll be fine to plug it in. This is what I did. I also made sure that once a month I completely drained the battery. It exercises the battery and keeps it in good health just like when we exercise.

Here is an email I got from Hyperion about Charge/Discharge...: Paste Thanks for the inquiry! Our recommendation is that you perform 4-5 cycles of charge/discharge/recharge. Charge the battery before the first use and make sure that you charge up to 12 hours for the first few charges. Do NOT fully deplete to zero but go down to anywhere between 5 and 20%. This is known as the break-in period of the battery and optimizes the battery as well has helps some phones to get "used to" operating with a higher mAh battery. In your case, your phone is used to the battery size, but we find these cycles to be helpful to the battery, it being especially important to reach that 100% charge, and mindful not to go below 5-20% when discharging. Hope that helps! Be sure to let me know if you need further assistance. Have a good day, Christine Hyperion EA

Well like every battery it depends on how u use it,since I got it which I think was January I've used it every now an then without having to charge ,I would recommend leaving it switched to off when not using it

When it arrived I installed it and let it charge in the base overnight. We've been using it daily ever since, leaving it in the charger between uses. Nothing special done other than the initial overnight charge. Just be sure anytime you put the headset in the charger, to seat the headset well into its mount and you see the blinking charge light and let it do its thing. No more blinking = fully charged, ready for use.Hopefully this battery will last as long as the original, we got about 5 years or more.

I just charged it overnight... It has only been used a few times since the charge but is holding strong!

Overnight and then I leave it in the charger all the time except for when I'm using it. You can't overcharge it.

If it's first time after ur purchase than as per manul instruction may u need to charge little long but for routine use 4 to 6 hrs should be good. I usually put it in charging for mostly overnight.

i am in my 3rd season of ownership of the mower and battery, and both are still going strong - but i do have a major word of caution. The manual says to keep the battery charging when not in use and during the off-season and they damn well mean it! i had bought a spare battery 3 yrs ago also and was nonchalant in the off season and left it unplugged ; the next spring i went to use it and it was utterly dead and would not take or keep a charge. keep it in the charger at all times and you should be good for several years

I also agree with Andrew. I bought this battery and simply installed it and it has worked fine ever since (more than 3 months now). I went from about 6 hours per day of life to now about 12 under normal use.

No, you charge it on a cradle. The batter lasts many days (around 7, I believe) with normal use, so as long as you put it in the cradle before bedtime, you should be good. The few times I've forgotten to do so, a minimal charge will keep you going until you can let it charge for longer.

Typically overnight is adequate. I think leaving on charge for more that 2-3 days shortens battery-use life over time.

Yes, charge it before using it for the first time. Yes, charging it overnight should be enough.

A charge overnight would be sufficient to fully charge the battery. You should note, however, that you SHOULD NOT place the remote back in the base after every use! (it will wear out the battery much faster if you do!) Instead, charge the remote only when the indicator shows that the battery is low. A full charge should last you several days, depending on how heavily you use it.

Yes, I've had it for about a year, and never lets me down, it charges for like 8hrs, so I charge it at night, when I wake up it's full and good for some 3 days, it'll depend on his much you use it.

I usually plug it in overnight. I think it takes a few hours to charge. It depends on how low the battery is when you charge it.

I believe they recommend taking it off charge when it is fully charged but I have ofter put it on overnight so I'm sure I've charged it for several hours after it is 100% and I've never had a problem. I think that all battery mfgs. typically direct users to stop charging when it is full as a precaution.

Tough to say. My old battery had to be charged daily and since I got this one I only have to plug it in every 4 or 5 days. One of the keys is to let it discharge down to 15% or so before recharging it.

10 times longer is not very useful.... If your old battery was severely crippled it could have been charging very quickly because it had so little capacity left. Fast charge & fast discharge is not what you want.I'd let it charge over night and see if it makes it through the next day. If the run time is long, do you really care how long it takes to charge? Just let it charge up overnight.
