    All Lithium batteries need monthly usage like checking the oil in your car. If these batteries are stored away for years the chemicals inside oxidate and expand, damaging the electronics inside. PSP battery turned into a pillow as well, and the joysticks become really sticky anyone else noticed old controller joysticks are sticky?

      They do not need monthly usage, why should they? All you need to do is prevent a deep discharge (below 1V per cell). It depends entirely on the device if that happens after a week, a month or 5 years.

        You’re right about charge % I forgot. I got it from a quick guide for large battery care. I’ve seen the ebike elevator accident, actually exploding batteries happen more frequent than I thought.
