as overcharging can shorten battery life. Lithium batteries should only be charged with constant current/constant voltage (CC/CV). When not in usage, the charge in a fully charged battery slowly disappears. Do not place the product near a heat source or expose it to direct sunlight, dust, moisture, rain or mechanical impact. Try to keep the battery temperature between o°C and 45°C at all times. If the battery is too hot or too cold, the product may not work temporarily, even if it is fully charged.
