Lithium battery pack life cycle

Lithium battery pack life cycle

Lithium-ion batteries usually last 2 to 4 years or 600 to 1,000 charge cycles before their performance drops. Store batteries in cool, dry places at about 30–50% charge to slow down aging and prevent damage. Avoid fully charging or fully discharging batteries during storage to extend their lifespan.
