70% of their capacity and place them in a dry, cool place.
• If you need more batteries, try to purchase Beholder ofcial
batteries or other reliable batteries with protection circuit to avoid
over-charge and damage to the batteries.Using damaged or
different capacity batteries may result in failing to boot Beholder
