Without proper care, your OLYMPUS LI-30B battery won't keep a charge as well as they used to. From your cellphone to your digital camera, here are a few things you can do.

If you own an iPhone, laptop, digital camera or almost any rechargeable device, it probably runs on a lithium ion SAMSUNG ES65 battery. They pack a ton of power into a small space and do a great job of holding on to that power when not in use. But without proper care, your KODAK camera battery won't keep its charge as well as it used to.
That's perfectly normal. The capacity of all lithium ion OLYMPUS camera battery declines over time. When maintained properly, an iPhone 4 battery will keep 80% of its original capacity after 400 full charge-and-discharge cycles. But there are things you can do improve the lifespan of your CANON IXUS 750 battery. Post continues after video.
Stop running it down. First, stop running it all the way down. In fact, try not to drop below 20%. Think of your CANON DIGITAL IXUS 40 battery as a muscle. Working out at a gym for 20 minutes a day will get you into shape, but doing it for 20 hours a day isn't something you can keep up for very long.
Use it or lose it. But you also shouldn't leave your MINOLTA NP-200 battery fully charged all the time. Like a muscle, your battery will atrophy if you never use it. So unplug it every once in a while and try to run it down by at least 10%.

Some manufacturers may also recommend that you fully charge your OLYMPUS LI-40B battery, then completely drain it once a month. This is typically done to recalibrate the device's internal counter, which is used when estimating how much power you have left. But don't do it more often than necessary.
Remember: Heat = death. Stay away from heat. Heat is the natural enemy of lithium ion CANON ES-270 battery. Even at room temperature, one year of use can permanently reduce your battery's capacity by as much as 20%, and something like a laptop will run much warmer than room temperature.
If you're going to put a laptop through a period of heavy use, a good suggestion is to plug it in and remove the OLYMPUS LI-50B battery, storing it separately from your laptop in a cooler location.
You may also want to invest in an inexpensive cooling pad. It'll put an extra fan or two underneath your laptop to suck excess heat way.

If you use a case with your iPhone, iPad or other device, make sure that it's breathable. Long periods of use, especially never-ending cell calls, can generate a lot of extra heat. While a thick, airtight case may offer protection from the elements, it'll come at the cost of PANASONIC DMW-BCE10E battery life.
For iPhone users, Apple has posted a list of tips to optimize your CANON BP-511 battery life with some great suggestions for any phone -- like keeping it out of the sun or a hot car -- as well as some specific to iPhones. Read those tips here.
RIM has done the same for BlackBerry users, recommending, among other things, that you charge your BlackBerry as much as possible. These tips should help maximize your battery's short- and long-term life, no matter what phone you use.
Think long-term storage. If you have an extra CANON DIGITAL IXUS 40 battery you rarely use, or have decided to run your laptop off its charger and store your battery somewhere else until needed, many manufacturers recommend keeping it in a refrigerator with a 50% charge.
The refrigerator is a nice, cool place -- ideal for longer-term NIKON EN-EL3E battery storage. But don't put it in the freezer. Anything below freezing is too cold and will hasten your battery's demise.
No battery will last forever, and all will eventually have to be replaced. But with proper care, your NIKON EN-4 battery should be able to enjoy a long, healthy life.
