Batteries being sold by us important information for you
This is Vital Information, For all new batteries, we suggest that all of our customer should fully charge it up fully on 3 occasions before full usage, because the capacity requirement will strain out by inner PCB circuit. In order to protect your battery life, you can full charge to 100% and drain 2 times. Charge the battery regularly, at least once a month. This is known as conditioning the battery. New batteries can fail if you don't keep a charge in them, so if after 3 months you decide to use your unit with no charge when you stopped using it, the battery will be dead and irreparable. This will invalidate your warranty.
