Best way to charge?

[KarenLeah]

So what is the best way to charge your Ionic battery to keep the battery in good shape? 

Is it best to let the charge go way down then do a full battery charge?

Or is it ok to fully charge the battery then everyday charge it for like 30 mins to top it off? 

I ask ask because I wear mine all the time except in the shower, so I thought charging it while I was showering was the easiest thing to do.

The resultant damp towel from that shower is the best tool for keeping your Ionic, and its band, clean and new looking @KarenLeah - no chemicals or abrasives just a quick wipe down; not so much as a good charging time.  Lithium cells have three properties you should be aware of (both in your tracker and in your mobile) a) heat shortens their lifespan b) draining to empty shortens their lifespan and c) you have a set number of "cycles" in its lifetime.  Knowing these properties, the longest lifetime can be achieved by waiting until the device asks to be charged without letting it run dry and never leave it abandoned after two hours of charging.  I have an original Surge that continues to outlast my newer Blaze and even newer Ionic holding a charge. Your battery is not replaceable and going for "max life" is a great idea - terrific question!
