Should have checked all that before storing them :-(Lithium-based cells and batteries can't be restored, any changes in their characteristics are permanent. The information is out there about how to best treat them but that is never given at the consumer level. If you store these, it is imperative that they be charged at close to the 50% level or you'll lose capacity, and this damage can occur in as little as one month with older cells/batteries. They are not meant to be stored with a full or nearly-full charge nor a low charge; doing that may not show an immediate effect but very soon capacity levels will begin dropping dramatically regardless of age. One session of charging at below freezing temps can ruin even new cells/batteries and it's not much better when you charge at too-high temps.
Lithium is an awesome battery technology but also an unforgiving one if you go out-of-spec in any way.

can no longer charge them over 13.1 which means 40%
they used to be able to give 55hrs parkmode (for a dual cam), so that means 22hrs now.
Power-core replied to me to confirm their extension battery does work with my cellink, but it won't have low temp protection, since that is controlled by their main battery
Btw; i have a feeling that Power-core used to be HDigital-EYE / Car-DVR....?
