Hi guys, I will be on travelling in my holidays for 1 month, 10 days. I had started earlier thread regarding lappie battery, but seems I need to take care of other devices too.

1) lappie - I have Dell XPS L501x and I am suggested to charge the battery to full, remove it and keep it some place. Right ?

2) iPhone 4 - how ? it has got non user removable battery :@

3) Nook Color - same as above

4) APC UPS - shall I turn it off or keep it for charging for whole period ?

5) Refrigerator - I was suggested to keep it turned on. Correct ?
@mods - please move to correct section.

TIA :D

Charge it to around 40-50% and remove it

Leave the Main ON, but the output off

5) Refrigerator - I was suggested to keep it turned on. Correct ?

If you need to leave stuff in the refrigerator, then yes, you need to leave it on, else you can switch it off and save some power

@mods - please move to correct section.

TIA :D

General principle for any Li-ion battery is to charge around 40-50% and switch off the device. Heat, deep discharge and full charge hurt the battery the most. Else better still carry the iPhone with you :)
 
oh just 40-50% ? I was suggested to charge it to full

Guys is it 40-50% charge for iPhone or full charge ?

I will be leaving in few hours.

@aditya - can't take the iPhone with me man :(
