Tips from experience on how to do that?
@Taso do you have advice as well?
Some fixtures will hold their charge for
months while others will
drain themselves, I have both types.
Li-Ion batteries do best when they are stored with a
60% charge left in them so what I do is use them at a gig and leave them like that until
the day before the next gig at which time I charge them fully, usually in the afternoon. It sounds like that is what Taso does too. The thing is, I don't use ALL of the fixtures that I own regularly. I have 24 and usually only take out 12 max to a gig so I have to keep an eye on the others so they don't run down all the way which would cause the battery to dry up. To prevent this, I simply flick the power switches on them to make sure they have some power left then I leave them alone until the next week. I also installed a
smoke-detector immediately over my charging area 'just in case' one decides to flare up during a charge. That has NEVER happened to me but there seems to be a paranoia about that so I thought I'd rather be safe than sorry since the charging station is in my garage which is part of our house.
