&lt;p&gt;Maintenance is mostly habit design.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="monthly-quick-check"&gt;Monthly quick check&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;confirm state of charge&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;inspect cables and ports&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;update firmware if the manufacturer recommends it&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;check the storage location&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;confirm the manual and accessories are nearby&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;run a small test load&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;verify recharge method&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id="storage-habits"&gt;Storage habits&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Follow the manufacturer&amp;rsquo;s storage guidance. In general, batteries dislike extreme heat, deep discharge, physical damage, blocked vents, and neglect.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
