Optimal Charging Practices
To maximize battery lifespan:
Avoid completely draining the battery - recharge when it reaches 20% capacity
For long-term storage, maintain charge at 40-60% in a cool, dry place
Use the included 18W PD charger or equivalent for fastest recharge (approximately 4 hours from empty)
Cleaning and Physical Care
Proper physical maintenance includes:
Wiping the aluminum casing with a slightly damp microfiber cloth
Avoiding abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface finish
Keeping ports clear of debris using compressed air if necessary
Performance Monitoring
Signs that may indicate need for replacement:
Noticeable reduction in capacity (unable to hold expected charge)
Excessive heat during charging (beyond 104°F/40°C)
Physical swelling of the unit (extremely rare with proper care)
Environmental Disposal
When the charger reaches end-of-life:
Take advantage of Nimble's take-back recycling program
Alternatively, dispose at certified e-waste recycling facilities
Never dispose in regular trash due to lithium battery content
