Q1 Important Notice on product use and battery charging.
A1 When the battery voltage is low, the performance of the device may be affected. Please note that remained battery power should not be below 30%, and it’s recommended to fully charge battery before use. No power, low power or over-charged power is bad for the battery, and it will damage the battery life in the long run. The best way is to keep the battery power between 30% and 90%, and well charging and discharging to maintain battery health.
 
Q2 Why product battery life is shortened?
