EcoFlow Delta II Powerstation & Extra Battery - Conditioning the Battery Every Three Months

According to the manual, you're supposed to "condition" your EcoFlow battery every three months. This involves draining the battery to a low level and then charging it back up.

Here's a quote from the manual:
"For long-term storage, please discharge the product every three months (firstly discharge it to 0%, then fully recharge it, and lastly discharge it to 60%); the product will not be covered by the warranty if it is not charged or discharged for more than 6 months."

That's very specific.

I'm not using my EcoFlow as a portable power supply which is the typical usage. Instead, I'm using it every day as an Emergency Power Supply (UPS) to provide standby power for my 3d Printer if the power goes out. 3d Prints can take hours, so a regular UPS (which I also have) isn't sufficient; It can only provide power for about 1 hour.

I'm using a real UPS in between my Delta II and the 3d printer because the Delta II isn't rated to switch to battery power fast enough to keep a computer (which is in the heart of the 3d printer) going without a glitch.

I drained the EcoFlow down to 0% by running my 3d Printer for 12+ hours with the EcoFlow Delta II and the extra battery unplugged from wall power.

I monitored closely during the day, but I used a YoLink power outage detector to send me an alert when the EcoFlow Powerstation was depleted. I reviewed this detector in this video: https://youtu.be/A2dQgyBRxvU

NOTE: I also use the Delta II to power our WiFi & Fridge during longer power outages. That takes priority over keeping a 3d print going, but usually the power is only out for 3-4 hours, so I can do both. If necessary, I can hook up my Champion 3400-Watt Dual Fuel Generator to recharge the Delta II if the power outage lasts longer. I cover that scenario in this video series: https://youtu.be/m8Lpj20gMrk
