First of all, the way you charge your battery has an impact on its lifespan. Avoid recharging it for longer than necessary. The heat from charging will slowly deteriorate a rechargeable camera battery’s materials, wearing down the battery life over time. So, you don’t want to leave your camera battery plugged in constantly when not using it. You simply want to plug it in until it reaches a full charge.
Batteries, including lithium-ion camera batteries, are also susceptible to cold. A lithium-ion camera battery, also known as a rechargeable li-on battery, will lose its charge much more quickly in cold conditions than in warm environments. For that reason, it is good to keep cameras and spare camera batteries close to your body for warmth if you are shooting photos or videos in winter or at night.
If you do need to recharge camera batteries in the field, keep a power bank on hand. You might also consider investing in a battery grip, which attaches to the bottom of your camera and acts as a secondary battery source. Additionally, a spare memory card, just like a spare battery, can allow for more photo-taking in a single session.
