Operating Instructions

Once installed, the Civhomy 3588B6-2S battery operates like your original laptop battery. Follow these general guidelines for optimal performance:

• Regular Charging: Charge the battery using your laptop's original or a compatible AC adapter. Avoid using unapproved chargers.
• Avoid Deep Discharge: While Li-ion batteries do not suffer from "memory effect," frequent deep discharges (letting the battery run to 0%) can reduce its lifespan. Try to recharge before the battery level drops too low.
• Temperature: Operate your laptop within normal room temperatures. Extreme cold or heat can negatively affect battery performance and lifespan.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance can extend the life of your battery:

• Storage: If storing the battery for an extended period, ensure it is charged to about 50-60% and stored in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing fully charged or fully discharged batteries.
• Cleaning: Keep the battery contacts clean. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe away any dust or debris.
• Avoid Physical Stress: Do not drop, bend, or apply excessive pressure to the battery.
• Software Updates: Keep your laptop's operating system and drivers updated, as power management software can impact battery performance.
