Recommendations for Lithium Battery Handling

  • Updated

The lithium battery in your TM4 is designed for durability and high performance. However, like all lithium-based batteries, it benefits greatly from proper handling.

Following these best practices can help maintain the battery and get the most out of your device over time.

General Storage Recommendations

The ideal storage conditions for your TM4:

  • Room temperature: Keep the unit in an environment between 15°C and 25°C 
  • Recommended charge level: Store the battery at approximately 50% charge if the device won't be used for an extended period

Good Practice for Extending Battery Lifespan

  • Maintain charge between 20%-80%
    • Try to keep the battery between 20% and 80% charge and around 20°C (room temperature) as much as possible
  • Use the device soon after full charge
    • If you fully charge the battery, it's best to start using the device soon after, so the charge level drops below 80%
  • Recharge promptly after full discharge
    • If the battery runs completely empty, recharge it as soon as possible. Don't leave it empty for long periods
  • Charge to 80% if not using immediately
    • If you don’t plan to use the TM4 right after charging, best practice is to only charge until around 80% to reduce strain on the battery
  • Avoid extreme temperatures
    • Do not store the unit in extreme temperatures, such as in direct sunlight or in a cold car overnight as this could shorten the battery's lifespan.

These precautions are standard for any device using lithium batteries - not just Trackman products.

By adopting these simple habits, you'll ensure better battery performance and help protect the lifespan of your TM4.
