[QUOTE="Repairman, post: 2888396, member: 67332"] I have noticed that diad v batteries respond well to being treated properly. If you want your diad battery capacity to last longer than a year, and it's charge to last a full day, make sure that it receives a full charge cycle. That is, from <10% to >90%. Little top-up charges here and there will degrade a high capacity battery. For optimum life, charge it someplace similar in temperature to where it will be used. Significant differences in charge/discharge temperatures will affect performance noticeably. Finally, check the serial number of your battery. The first two numbers correspond the year of manufacture. If you're using a 2011 or 2012 battery it will have likely diminished. But beware! Open the battery door and it's logged, remove the battery and it's logged, replace the battery and it's logged. Good news though, this information is sent away and dying batteries can be identified remotely out in the field and pegged for replacement. You SHOULD get at least 500 full cycles before your battery reaches 80% original full capacity. In reality, it is closer to 350. Treat it well and you can go into the 700's. [/QUOTE]
