battery setup

[tbgjlb]

I should get my g4 on Monday and just thought what's the best way to optimise the battery on first start up ( complete drain then full charge , repeat x amount of times ) etc etc .

Then as time goes by is there a preferred optimisation . and is it worth getting the quick charge and how does that affect the battery routine. I know I can just buy a new battery later down the line but just wondered best way.

I would avoid full discharges, based on my experiences with other lithium-based batteries.

Run it down to maybe 40-50%, if you want to cycle it a few times. Lithium batteries don't have a memory effect, but they don't generally like deep discharges. I try to avoid going under 20% if I can avoid it.

Optimization of the battery itself, like during use? None that I know of.

A quick charger can speed things up somewhat. I get about 1600mA from the stock LG charger/cable, and about 1950mA from my Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 charger. About 20% faster.

That's kind of what I've seen somewhere some time ago. Wondered if still relevant. Always a new theory out there somewhere.
