Charging advice

I generally have battery drain of 20-30% per day (with GPS and activities and a CIQ face) so it's pretty in line with expectations. I usually recharge to 100% nightly since it only takes 15 mins or so. What I want to know is whether it is bad for the battery to recharge like this, or if I should be letting the watch drain to close to zero before plugging in. Any advice?

Haz lo que te resulte mas comodo , actualmente las baterias de polimeros de litio no necesitan de ningun cuidado para protegerlas , pero , a mi me gusta mas no tener un patron fijo de carga.

Mi consejo es que cambies de vez en cuando, un dia dices, hoy no lo cargo , y al dia siguiente la haces completa, o bien llega el fin de semana y esperas a que se vacie.

Lo que yo hago es cargarla y dejar que se vacie hasta el 10% , y luego lo lleno, excepto una o dos veces al mes que le hago cargas intermedias, del 50 al 80 o del 25 al 75 , es mi mania , esto lo hago tambien con mi Iphone , hoy por ejemplo no trabajo y lo cargo solo un poco , mañana ya lo lleno.

Saludos

The way I look at it is that there are probably about 1,000 recharge cycles before the battery starts to fail. If you do it everyday you should go about 3 years and then you might see problems. If you do it every second night, you'll extend that to around 6 years.

What I do with my VA3 is recharge when I get to around 20%. That works out to 2-3 days when I have used GPS extensively and 4 to 5 days when I haven't,
