what is the best way to break in new high cap battery for T4

[nikemen]

So, I had to get another battery and bought the high cap battery, is there a breakin technique that seesm sounds? Charge it fully, run it down, charge it again or something.

I tried searching, are the posts now expiring or did that end?

The best thing for the battery is to charge it - then never use it.

All battery use creates wear. Full discharges create considerable wear.

There are only 2 problems with that.

1) The charging circuits need to calibrate to the battery. This requires a full discharge/charge when you get the battery and then "periodically". Some people will tell you that is once a month - some people will tell you every 6 months. Depends on how accurate you like you charge meter to be.

2) If you never use your battery - it isn't very valuable. Kind of like never using your car because the gas gets used up and the tires wear out.
