BATTERY
Try not to discharge the battery from 100% to 0% directly; instead, aim to use the battery within an intermediate range between both extremes, as it experiences less stress (20-80%). Try to keep it above 20%.It is also recommended to connect the device to power only when charging and not to leave it always connected.
Avoid constantly connecting and disconnecting the adapter every few minutes. Once the charging cycle is established, it's best not to interrupt it, thereby reducing battery degradation.
