6 Steps To Prolonging Battery Life In Your Lithium-Ion Wahl Tools

We frequently receive questions on what is the best way to prolong the battery life on their Wahl tools. Wahl lead electrical engineer Matt Bowers helps give his 6 best tips on how to do so.

1. If the device is fully discharged, apply a charge right away to prevent damage or inability to recharge.

2. A partial charge is fine; Li-Ion does not require a full charge.

3. Charge the device at moderate temperatures (10-40°C (50-104°F) Ambient Temperature).

4. Perform regular maintenance on the device including keeping the blades oiled, clean, and free of debris to prevent taxing the battery.

5. When not in use, store the partially charged device (~50%) in a cool and dry place away from heat sources and direct sunlight ( 20-25°C Ambient recommended)  Important:  Do not store device with little or no charge!

6. Take the device out of storage after every 6 months and give it a partial re-charge it if it is to remain in storage for extended periods.
