Our expert comment:

Please consider the following advice to improve the lifetime of your battery:

Never discharge your battery completely. Turn off your mount before. So you can protect your mount from overvoltage.

Do not store the battery, when it is empty.

Do not charge the battery too long. Turn off your charging station as soon as the battery is fully loaded.
