Having a 2nd battery (55++) as a spare...

#1 Post by Lesliechih » Sat Jul 23, 2011 6:18 am

Hi guys,

I was meaning to buy the 27++, but hearing bad comments in another thread, I ended up buying another 55++ instead. I actually bought this prematurely. I should have waited until my current one has passed its used by date.

My question is, is there any harm in keeping a spare 55++ unused 'sitting on the shelf' sort of speak, or do I try and use both my original one and this one at the same time in case the battery 'dies' regardless of use?

I'll probably ask for refund if I can't keep this one spare without it 'dying without use'.

Thanks first for the help!

If you are going to store it, reduce the charge to 40% and store it in a refrigerator in a sealed container.
