How do you keep your extra battery?

Hence, why many brand new phones come with a battery that's usually at around 50%, which is why we sometimes call it "storage charge".

That said, since the G4 has a removable battery, I don't think users will be too worried about battery lifespan, especially compared to phones with sealed batteries.

What if it's 50% because it was discharged from being on standby from 100%?

Phone manufacturers don't usually keep their stocked devices at 100% charge.

If the device had been somewhat powered up while in the box, I'd expect it would have gone totally dead while sitting on the shelf. I believe my G4 was built in May, and I bought it in July.

My spare battery arrived at 3.84V. I believe that is also around 50%. And that battery had no drain on it, since it was not even in a device.
