Battery Maintenance and Charging Practices

It's important to manage batteries by keeping them at around 50% charge for long-term storage, especially if not in use for over six months. Apple recommends storing devices in a cool, low-moisture environment and charging them every six months if stored for extended periods. Devices may enter a low battery state after long-term storage, requiring some time on their charger to recover.
