• Cleaning: If the battery terminals become dirty, wipe them with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners.
• Charging Cycles: Lithium-Ion batteries do not suffer from a "memory effect," so you can charge them at any time. However, frequent full discharge cycles can reduce overall battery life.
• Disposal: Do not dispose of batteries in general household waste. Recycle them according to local regulations. Many electronics stores or recycling centers accept used batteries.
