Mostly the title. I have a few items with built in rechargeable batteries that I don’t need to use very frequently. How do I keep the batteries in those items from going bad? Is there a preferred way to store them for a few weeks in between uses? Thanks in advance.

    The main takeaway is don’t let discharge fully. Every couple of months, check charge level and if it’s under 20%, charge to about 60 for more storage.

    If it’s just every few weeks, it should be fine as long as you don’t fully discharge and keep enough charge to be useful.

      That could actually be where I went wrong in the past. I’ll make sure to store the items with a decent charge. Thanks :)
