Great question, Edeneve, I am looking forward to answers as, like you, I searched and can't find anything that explains it to me!

For vibes with rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries:
- store them in a cool and dry location when they are not in use; never leave them in a sunny spot.
- avoid running the vibes for extended periods of time, as the batteries will last longer when they're not being overused.
- charge the vibes often between uses, and avoid full discharges as Lithium Ion batteries must be kept in a charged state (preferably 40% charged).

Rossie for the win!!!!

She's right.

You'll notice how in the winter time, your rechargeable toys will last you longer than the summer time. And it is related to the temperature of the room you store your toys in.

Biggest suggestion I have? Store your toys in a cool, dark and dry area. They will thank you for this!!!

That being said, Fun Factory toys when you run them on high, you might only get one session out of them. That is the way they are designed.

info. regarding points #2 & #3 is what I find & it's too vague.

what does extended periods of time mean? - how does it translate into hours &/or minutes?

how do I know when a full discharge is reached or before it's reached or that the vibe is 40% charged?

You'll have to determine that from your own experience and the particular vibe you're using. Let's say I run a Jopen Vanity vibe on high continuously for more than an hour, and again within a day or two -- the vibe runs strong when fully charged, but it will gradually become much weaker or even run out of juice (full discharge). To avoid a full discharge, I make it a habit to recharge the toy after approximately every 90 minutes usage, or when the vibration begins to weaken.

Most of the batteries (check your owners manuals) have a certain amount of standby - but to avoid a full discharge, use AND charge all your vibes at least once a month.
