llywelynbren Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 I've checked and double-checked the manual, and spent the last half hour searching through this forum, but can't find the answer to this question:Anyone know how many times the Mz-NH1's Li-ion battery can be recharged before it dies?I know that for Ni-Mh gumsticks it's approx 300, but I presume (hope) that the Li-ion is many more.Thanks.

Qwakrz Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 It all depends on how you treat it.Li-Ion batteries hate being left fully charged for a long time (like being left on the cradle for 2-3 weeks at a time) or deeply discharged. If you are planning on not using it for a while (month or so) then leave it half charged for the longest life.I would think that if you charge it when you have finished with it and then used it again within a day or two you would get 800 or so equiv full charges (1 full charge = 2 50% -> 100% charges for example) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtunes Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 i'm so confused because my gumstick had a low level, i took it out and put it back in, and it says full! but it's not full. i dont want inaccurate readings. also i try to kill it by hitting play and leaving it for the night, i get up in the morning and i hit play and it says like half is left. is it recharging itself somehow?

Do that once every 30-40 full charges (or 60-80 half charges, etc.), or once every two to three months depending on usage to recalibrate your gauge.
