It’s a lithium battery

This is a limited edition think that I’d like to give to my daughter when she’s perhaps 18 or so (she’s 1 at the mo)

How do I store it in regards to the inbuilt lithium battery.

Just put it away and forget about it, charge it up and put it away, run it flat, get it out every x months and charge, put the battery in the bin and worry about a new one in the future?

Cheers

Store lithium batteries part charged, at room temperature. Get it out once a year or so and give it a cycling.

Isnt that like giving an 18 year old woman now a Nintendo DS?
Buy one for your own nostalgic memories in the hope it will be worth something, but it is unlikely your daughter will be into it.

Maybe, I’ll report back in 17 years

One other point - update the firmware periodically. If it’s new and you don’t touch it, you might have a challenge in 18 years trying to get it to do anything useful other than sit on a shelf.

EDIT: Saw it was that limited edition small handheld, not a switch, so the firmware comment is irrelevant here. Wondering if its charging it, opening it up and removing the battery.

Personally if I was going to time-capsule something it wouldn't be a remake of something from 1980 bolted onto a 35th anniversary of something else. I would want to go with something current and cutting edge at the time ... otherwise its somewhat pointless tbh and will only be nostalgic for you.
