Whilst improving the battery performance, you may want to consider charge speed. To improve speed in a smart Li-ion battery you should focus your attention to the battery charger itself. Select a reliable battery charger that is built with Tier 1 components which delivers the correct amount of current. You should use a battery charger that has the ability to monitor the health and cell state of the battery. Using that information a smart charger will use the right amount of current to charge the battery in the quickest possible time without damaging the battery cells.

There are a number of ways to take care of your Li- ion battery and increase the life cycle:

1 – Keep your batteries at room temperature if they a regularly charged and discharged.

2 – Think about increasing the battery capacity rather than carrying a spare - Surprisingly a battery that isn't used often and stored fully charged will see a reduction in capacity and performance quite rapidly.

3 – Allow partial discharges and avoid full discharges.

4- If you have a battery as a spare for example, discharge it to about 40% and store at roughly a refrigerator temperature.
