After several years of use my EmotiBit battery loses charge very quickly, what can I do?

It's normal for lithium polymer batteries to degrade somewhat over several years. Good news, though, it's super easy to replace your battery! Check out this FAQ post for more information on EmotiBit battery replacement.


Some notes on battery care:

Lithium polymer battery degradation is accelerated if you let the battery sit entirely depleted for long periods where the internal discharge of the battery can cause permanent damage to itself. On the other hand, sitting plugged in/charging for super long periods is also not ideal (albeit MUCH better than fully depleted), so there's a bit of a balancing act with battery storage for devices that are infrequently-used.


If you might not use your EmotiBit for a longer period (anywhere from a few hours to several months), a good way to store them is to fully charge them up with the hibernate switch in the HIB position.
