Here you can find our articles on battery care and maintenance, including best practices and, above all, what to avoid.

A. How to properly charge a battery

  • Charge between 20% and 80% to maximise lifespan.

  • Avoid prolonged charging at 100%.

  • Never allow a battery to fully discharge.

  • Use only a compatible charger.

B. How to store a battery

  • Ideal storage charge level: 40–60%.

  • Recommended temperature: 10–20°C.

  • Do not leave the battery in direct sunlight, in a car, or in a humid environment.

C. How to extend battery lifespan

  • Avoid full charge and discharge cycles.

  • Prefer shorter, more frequent charging sessions.

  • Do not use a charger more powerful than required.

❓ General FAQ

1. What is the lifespan of a battery?

Generally, it ranges from 500 to 1,000 charge cycles, depending on the chemistry (Li-ion / LiFePO₄). This corresponds to several years of use.

2. How long does it take to charge a battery?

Use the calculator below by entering the information you have available.

Please note that your battery will never be completely discharged.

3. How can I tell if my battery is compatible with my device?

Check the following:

  • Voltage (V)

  • Capacity (mAh / Wh)

  • Connector

  • Original reference

4. Can a more powerful charger be used?

No, this can damage the battery. Always use a charger with the same voltage and the recommended current (amperage).

5. Est-ce dangereux de laisser une batterie branchée toute la nuit ?

Les batteries modernes ont des protections, mais charger toute la nuit accélère l’usure. Débrancher après la charge reste recommandé.

6. Warranty: what is covered?

Covered:

  • Manufacturing defects

  • Cell-related issues

  • Internal malfunctions

Not covered:

  • Impacts, water ingress, improper use, non-compatible chargers

  • Parts that were not replaced during the reconditioning process

7. What should I do with an old battery?

Old batteries must always be recycled through an official collection point.
