6. Device Maintenance

All batteries have finite life cycles. Their power capacity and charging efficiency are
constantly degrading due to chemical reactions that gradually causes the internal
impedance of the cells to increase and in time, and reduces the ability of the battery
to deliver its charge. Battery internal chemical reactions are catalyzed by extreme
temperatures and excessive moisture. For the se reasons, it is critical to keep them
as cool, dry, clean as possible at all times.
