Told you Microsoft Fluent Design System - Business Insider

There are few things to keep in mind about the lithium batteries powering most (if not all) mobile devices today: - A new battery need a couple of weeks to get to its full params and normal behavior. The internal chemicals require few charge/discharge cycles to get to full capacity. - Never...
