5. Initial Charging and Operation
For optimal performance and battery longevity, follow these initial charging instructions:
- The battery is not fully charged at the factory and may show a 'false charge' initially.
- When using a new battery for the first time, it should be used until depleted before its first full charge.
- Initial charging should be approximately 3-8 hours.
- After 2-3 cycles of charging and discharging, the battery cells will be fully activated, leading to optimal performance.
- The new battery may initially have unstable power or durability due to incomplete activation. This is normal. After activation, each charge will typically last for 4-6 hours of operation (depending on device usage).
- Do not use a third-party adapter charger to charge the device, as this may shorten battery life.
