Envie also claims that the capacity of these batteries will be 80% of its capacity after 1 year of Usage. But is our test we didn’t experience that. In real-world experience, the Battery capacity reduces more than 20% after one year of Usage.
Envie also provides a 3-month warranty against poor backup and a year warranty against leakage. But in some cells, we face seen leakage problems.
This Envie cell cannot be used for heavy-duty purposes like trimmer and toys. These cells are made for lite Usage like, for wireless mouse/keyboard, remote, etc. Because these cell does not store sufficient energy and capacity of the cell is also less which is 1000 mAh.
