Daily Charging Best Practices

Proper charging habits form the foundation of battery longevity. Following these guidelines ensures your battery maintains optimal performance while preventing premature degradation.

Optimal Charging Routine

Establishing a consistent charging routine is crucial for maintaining battery health. The following steps outline the ideal charging process for maximum battery life and performance:

Charge the battery after each day of use, regardless of the remaining capacity. This maintains a healthy charge cycle and prevents deep discharge situations.
Connect to the charger until the indicator shows full charge. The intelligent charging system will automatically adjust the charging rate to protect the battery.
Use only the original Malisa Mobility charger, which is specifically designed for your battery's chemistry and capacity. Third-party chargers may not provide the correct voltage or charging profile.
Maintain charging temperature between 50°F to 86°F (10°C to 30°C). This temperature range optimizes charging efficiency while protecting battery cells from stress.
