Breaking In New MITSUBISHI Batteries - new MITSUBISHI batteries come in a discharged condition and must be fully charged before use. It is recommended that you fully charge and discharge your new MITSUBISHI battery two to four times to allow it to reach its maximum rated capacity.

Preventing the Memory Effect - Keep your MITSUBISHI battery healthy by fully charging and then fully discharging it at least once every two to three weeks. Exceptions to the rule are Li-Ion batteries which do not suffer from the memory effect.

Keep Your MITSUBISHI Batteries Clean - It's a good idea to clean dirty battery contacts with a cotton swab and alcohol. This helps maintain a good connection between the battery and your portable device.

Exercise Your MITSUBISHI Battery - Do not leave your MITSUBISHI battery dormant for long periods of time. We recommend using the MITSUBISHI battery at least once every two to three weeks. If a MITSUBISHI battery has not been used for a long period of time, perform the new battery break in procedure described above.

MITSUBISHI Battery Storage - If you don't plan on using the MITSUBISHI battery for a month or more, we recommend storing it in a clean, dry, cool place away from heat and metal objects. NiCad, NiMH and Li-Ion batteries will self-discharge during storage; remember to break them in before use. Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries must be kept at full charge during storage. This is usually achieved by using special trickle chargers. If you do not have a trickle charger, do not attempt to store SLA batteries for more than three months.
