I guess this question goes to the friends of HW. Is there a recommended best practice when it comes to charging the batterie of the 2N? In other words, do you recommend to charge the batterie asap and to avoid running it too low? This for example is recommend for the batterie of my primary light. Or would it be better to completely discharge the batterie and have it fully charged afterwards?
The battery is charged everytime the OSTC is connected to the PC via USB e.g. while downloading logbook information, Is this a problem for the battery if the OSTC is just connected for one minute or two?

Hi,

- Avoid deep-discharges, if possible.
- always make sure you have enough power left for your dive (Some of us dive 5h+...)
- recharge before storing for a longer period
- always recharge at room temperature

Regards,
Matthias

Thx Matthias, any concerns re the short loading actions during logbook download? Or do you recommend to leave the OSTC connected until fully loaded? BTW, what is the voltage when fully loaded?
