Hitachi BSL3620 5200mAh 36V Li-ion

1) The accurate working temperature
Batteries suffer very badly at extreme temperatures. If you want to extend the life of your battery, you should avoid overloading it too much. If your battery works for a very long time, that's why it is probably very hot. It is wise to pull it out of the device and wait 10-15 minutes until it cools down.

2) Battery overcharge
If you want your batteries to have a very long life, you should also avoid their deep discharge. If during daily work on the battery you see a fairly large decrease in the efficiency of the device powered by the battery, you should stop its work as soon as possible and connect the battery to the charger.

3) Battery rest
You must also remember that the discharged battery for proper operation needs about 5 minutes of "free charging" before connecting to ”normal” charging. During "free charging" our battery temperature will drop significantly which will obviously have a very beneficial effect during subsequent charging.

4) Appropriate storage of the battery
The life of batteries is also greatly influenced by their proper storage. If you are not going to use the battery in the near future, it is worth charging it for the level 60-70%. Charged battery should be put in a safe place with temperature above zero.

5) Battery formatting
If you have batteries based on popular NiCd cells, you should also remember that it is possible that the so-called "memory effect" may occur. Batteries with NiCd cells should be discharged at least once every three cycles, and then charged to 100% level. Through these actions you will keep the maximum capacity of the battery.
