Avoid extremes
Keep charge between ~20-80% when practical; unplug when full.
Manage heat
Use on hard surfaces, avoid hot cars, and clean vents.
Use battery health modes
Enable OEM battery protection or charging limits if available.
Calibrate rarely
Occasionally run a full cycle only if the meter seems inaccurate.
