Caring for your Ricoh camera battery is a conscious effort. Most people find their device's cell performance deteriorates after a year or so, and this can be partially attributed to careless maintenance. For instance, you should not charge the battery when it's still relatively full.
If you are not going to use the battery and charger for a prolonged period of time, make sure there is constantly some power left in it to keep the juice running. Last but not least, don't drop the battery as it can cause the polarity of the cell to go haywire. Experienced users will swear by these tips to keep their battery in tip-top condition.
