I'm not sure if the multiple hard resets will solve the issue for the P series backs (I don't have a P series). I know it works on the IQ quite well. I've had the same battery sitting in my backup IQ250 for over 4 months now and it's still at 90% when I powered it on a minute ago. Just be sure that you can get the newest version before you reset...in case the files can't be found anymore. The trick to the IQ was to do it twice and reset to defaults each time before the final settings reconfig/reload. I don't think that it'd do any harm to try though.Thanks for all the great info Doc! I will certainly follow your recommendations. I'm also planning to do the hard reset process you mentioned earlier in this discussion on both my P20+ and P25+ backs to minimize the battery discharge while the backs are not in use. My only question/concern is about doing the firmware update during that process. I haven't had to update the firmware on either of these DBs since they already had the latest firmware when I bought them. I'll figure that out before I start the hard reset process of course.

BTW, this is how I label my batteries in case you were wondering...Battery number, date entered into service, max voltage at new, source of battery, initials. I keep the charge capacity in a log kept next to the charger for easy reference based on the B-xx id number.
