Question
Do you have any tips for extending the battery life on the Comfort Digisystem digital listening system?
Answer
The best way of ensuring as long a life as possible from a lithium-ion polymer battery is to use it. Avoid leaving the battery either in a discharged or fully charged state for long periods. If a product is not going to be used for a longer period of time, the battery should first be charged to around half (40%) capacity and then charged just a little at regular intervals to prevent so-called deep discharge, which can harm a battery. Batteries of lithium ion type do not have the so-called memory effect and do not have to be completely discharged as do NiCd batteries, for instance.
