Apologies if this shouldn't sit here, but I thought some of the battery experts on here might advise.
I've got a pair of bluetooth earphones. Very cheap from Amazon, but they do the job. I've had them maybe a year and so and still doing well, but I was wondering the best way to charge them, after reading on here the discussions on charging the cars. I've no idea what batteries are in them, (the description says "The latest polymer battery provides more than 8 hours of continuous play.")
Maybe 20 years of more ago, I remember the advice on charging batteries (for phones and the like), was to fully empty them and then fully charge them. Maybe I'm misremembering or given bad advice at the time. The current advice with the cars seem to be 20 to 80%.
At the minute I usually wait till they tell me "low battery", or even till they shut themselves off, and then charge them to full.
Any thoughts ?
