Note: Warranty for Transcend battery is 6 months. There is no memory effect on Li-ion battery, so the battery lifetime will not decrease if charged with power left.
Most Li-ion batteries fast charge your device to 80% battery capacity in two hours, then it needs one or two hours trickle charging to charge the battery to full. Please ensure that there is at least one charging/ discharging cycle per month. The battery capacity will decrease to 70% after one-year usage or 500 charging cycles.
