Mostly the title. I have a few items with built in rechargeable batteries that I don’t need to use very frequently. How do I keep the batteries in those items from going bad? Is there a preferred way to store them for a few weeks in between uses? Thanks in advance.

    I have a percussion massager that will only hold a very small charge after about 6 months (it was a Christmas present). I assumed I stored the battery improperly because I’ve only used it infrequently since then. Maybe I’m wrong about that, I really don’t know, it might have just been cheaply made. I’ll try the ~40% charge for my other devices to be on the safe side. Thanks for the tips :)

      yeah some cells are just built very poorly and will age out prematurely. It’s far too prominent nowadays with lowest-bidder manufactured E-waste that populates so many store shelves.
