How can i store my Lithium Ion battery?

It is best to store a lithium-ion battery with a partial or full charge. Occasionally, a lithium-ion battery with a very low charge is stored for a long period of time (many months) and its voltage slowly drops to below the level at which its built in safety mechanism allows it to be charged again. If the battery is going to be stored for several months it's a good idea to take it out and recharge it after a few months. Better yet would be to actually use the battery every few months and then leave it partially or fully charged.

In addition: Make sure charger and discharge completely at the first three times.

Know About Laptop Batteries.

The most recent laptops use lithium ion batteries. Generally the life of a laptop battery is two to five hours, but if the laptop is being used very extensively, the life may get reduced to as little as one hour. The chemicals that are used inside the battery are usually degenerated when the life of the battery drops. It then needs to be replaced.
