Battery Discharge Question

[Valley Ranger]

If I'm not going to use my XP Deus for a few months, should I just put it up without allowing the battery to discharge or should I leave it on until the battery is dead?

Thanks

Just leave it.

From page 34 of the manual:

The LiPo batteries are designed to bear hundreds of charges and to last severalyears in your detector, thus resulting in significant savings in terms of purchaseof batteries.After 300 to 400 charging cycles the battery still has 80% of its capacity, whichthen gradually begins to decrease over subsequent cycles.As an indication, the batteries should last for around 3 to 4 years when used ona weekly basis.Attention: long-term storage of discharged batteries may reduce their overalldurability. If the detector has to be placed in storage, first charge the batteries tohalf of their capacity (40 to 70%).Ideally you should then discharge/recharge them at least once a month.Do not store your device for long periods with discharged batteries!

Great post! These new batteries are amazing! Not sure they can get much better. Charge super fast, no memory issues, Last forever...

Wish cell phone batteries were as good as my XP DEUS! lol
