How to install the range extender
Before setup, unplug or disconnect any range extenders on the network.

1. Plug in the range extender midway between your router and the area without Wi-Fi.
Be sure you have at least 50% of your router’s Wi-Fi signal at that point on the device you will use for setup. The setup software will help you find the best spot if you have trouble.

2. Wait for a solid light on the cover of the range extender. It could|take up to two minutes. On a computer, phone or tablet, connect to the Wi-Fi network “Linksys Extender Setup.”

3. If setup doesn’t start automatically, open a browser to http://extender.linksys.com.

Linksys’s Spot finder technology will help you find the right location for your range
extender if you have trouble. You will be guided to place the ra nge extender closer or farther from your router to improve the signal. if you nailed it with your first placement you will not see Spot finder screens.

4. During setup you will be asked whether you want the range extender to update itself
automatically. If you allow automatic updates, the range extender will download and install updates when released by Unksys. Automatic updates will take place overnight so they do not disrupt your network activit y.

You also can decide to manually update your range extender at your convenience.

The router will prompt you for a password.
If you changed the password during setup, enter the new password. Click LOGIN. If you didn’t change the password, or skipped setup altogether, the default password is “admin”.

Basic Router Settings

This screen allows you to change the router’s basic configuration.

Language

Select your language–To change language, select one from the drop-down menu. The language of the browser-based utility will change within five seconds.

Internet Setup

The Internet Setup section configures the router to your internet connection. This information can be provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Internet Connection Type–Select the type of internet connection your ISP provides from the dropdown menu.

• Automatic Configuration ­ DHCP (default)
  Keep the default only if your ISP supports DHCP or if you connect using a dynamic IP address. (This option usually applies to cable connections.)
• Static IP
  Select if you are required to use a fixed IP address to connect to the internet.
• PPPoE
  Select if you have a DSL connection and your ISP uses Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE).
• PPTP
  Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a service that generally applies to connections in Europe. If your PPTP connection supports DHCP or a dynamic IP address, select Obtain an IP Address Automatically. If you are required to use a fixed IP address to connect to the internet, select Specify an IP Address and configure the options that appear.
• L2TP
  Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is a service that generally applies to connections in Israel.
  Note–Connect on Demand or Keep Alive are options when choosing PPPoE, PPTP, and L2TP. They let you choose whether the router connects to the internet only as needed (useful if your ISP charges for connect time), or if the router should always be connected. Select the appropriate option.
• Bridge Mode
  Bridge Mode disables all router capabilities and turns the router into an access point. The router will cease to act as a DHCP server and its built-in firewall, as well as the NAT features, will no longer be in effect.
• Wireless Bridge
  A wireless bridge wirelessly connects to your main router and can share the internet connection with devices connected to the bridge’s Ethernet ports.

Basic Wireless Settings

Network Mode–Select the wireless standards your network will support.

• Mixed (default) Keep the default if you have Wireless-N, Wireless-N, and Wireless-AC devices in your network.
• Wireless-A Only Select if you have only Wireless-A devices.
• Wireless-N Only
  Select if you have only Wireless-N devices.
• Disabled
  Select if you have no Wireless-A, Wireless-N, and Wireless-AC devices in your network. Note–You may select Mixed, Wireless-N/AC Only or Disabled for the 5 GHz band. If you are not sure which mode to select, keep the default, Mixed.

Network Name (SSID)
The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is a name used by devices to connect to a wireless network. SSIDs are case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters. The default SSIDs for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks are LinksysXXXXX and LinksysXXXXX_5GHz, respectively. The Xs represent the last five digits of the router’s serial number, which can be found on the bottom of the router. If you changed the SSID, both bands have the new SSIDs. You may give them different names through the browser-based utility.

Note–If you restore the router’s factory default settings (by pressing the Reset button or using the Administration > Factory Defaults screen), the Network Name will return to its default value. Change the Network Name back to its original name, or you will have to reconnect all devices on your wireless network to the new network name.

Channel Width
Keep the default, Auto (20 MHz or 40 MHz), for best performance in a 2.4 GHz network using Wireless-B, Wireless-G and Wireless-N devices. For a channel width of 20 MHz, select 20 MHz only. For the best performance in a 5 GHz network, keep the default 20, 40 or 80 MHz.

Channel
Select the channel from the drop-down list. Keep the default, Auto, if you are not sure which channel to select.

SSID Broadcast
Keep the default, Enabled, to broadcast the router’s SSID. When wireless clients survey the local area for wireless networks to associate with they will detect the SSID broadcast by the router. Attempting to hide your Wi-Fi name does not make your Wi-Fi more secure. Anyone truly interested in accessing your network can find it even if you turn off this feature. If you still do not want to broadcast the router’s SSID, select Disabled.

Wireless Security

The router offers the following wireless security options: WPA2 Personal (WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access.)

Security Option Settings

WPA2 Personal

If you select WPA2 Personal, each device in your wireless network MUST use WPA2 Personal and the same passphrase.
Passphrase–Enter a passphrase of 8-63 characters. This is the Wi-Fi password that provides access to the network. It can be the same as entered in setup.

Disabled

If you choose to disable wireless security, you will be informed that wireless security is disabled when you first attempt to access the internet. You will be given the option to enable wireless security or confirm that you understand the risks but still wish to proceed without wireless security.

Troubleshooting

You can find more help from our award-winning customer support at Linksys.com/support/E5600.

Your router was not successfully set up

If you could not complete setup in the browser-based interface, you can try the following:

• Press and hold the Reset button on your router with a paperclip or pin until the power light on the front of the router turns off and starts blinking (about 10 seconds). Type 192.168.1.1 in a browser to try setup again.

• If you have another computer, use that computer to install the router.

Your Internet cable is not plugged in message

If you get a “Your Internet cable is not plugged in” message when trying to set up your router:

• Make sure that an ethernet or internet cable (or a cable like the one supplied with your router) is securely connected to the yellow Internet port on the back of the router and to the appropriate port on your modem. This port on the modem is usually labeled Ethernet.
  
• Make sure that your modem is connected to power and is turned on.
  

  If your internet service is cable, verify that the cable modem’s CABLE port is connected to the coaxial cable provided by your ISP.	If your internet service is DSL, make sure that the DSL phone line is connected to the modem’s DSL port.

• If your computer was previously connected to your modem with a USB cable, disconnect the USB cable.
• Install the router again.

Cannot access your router message

To access your router, you must be connected to your own network. If you currently have wireless internet access, the problem may be that you have accidentally connected to a different wireless network. To fix the problem on Windows computers, do the following*:

1. On your Windows desktop, click on the wireless icon in the system tray. A list of available networks will appear.
2. Click your own network name. Click Connect. In the example below, the computer was connected to another wireless network named wraith_5GHz. The wireless network name of the Linksys E series router, Damaged_Beez2.4 in this example, is shown selected.

   *Depending on your version of Windows, there could be some differences in wording or icons in these steps.

To fix the problem on Mac computers, do the following:

1. In the menu bar across the top of the screen, click the Wi-Fi icon. A list of wireless networks will appear.
2. In the example below, the computer was connected to another wireless network named wraith_5GHz. The wireless network name of the Linksys E series router, Damaged_Beez2.4 in this example, is shown selected.
   
3. Click the wireless network name of your Linksys E series router (Damaged_Beez2.4 in the example).
4. Type your wireless network password (Security Key) into the Password field. Click OK.

After setup

The internet appears to be unavailable

If the internet has difficulty communicating with your router, the problem may appear as a “Cannot find [internet address]” message in your web browser. If you know that the internet address is correct, and if you’ve tried several valid internet addresses with the same result, the message could mean that there’s a problem with your ISP or modem communicating with your router. Try the following:

• Make sure that the network and power cables are securely connected.
• Make sure that the power outlet that your router is connected to has power.
• Reboot your router.
• Contact your ISP and ask about outages in your area.

The most common method of troubleshooting your router is to turn it off, then back on again. Your router can then reload its custom settings, and other devices (such as the modem) will be able to rediscover the router and communicate with it. This process is called rebooting.

To restart your router using the power cord, do the following:

1. Disconnect the power cord from the router and the modem.

What’s in this guide

Your Linksys range extender Get started
Setting up as a wireless range extender Setting up as a wired range extender (access point) FAQ

The light on the front of the range extender gives you information about power, updating and signal strength

WPS Button—Use Wi-Fi Protected Setup to automatically and securely add compatible wireless devices to your network with Push Button Connect.
Reset Button—Press and hold until the light on the front of the range extender blinks to reset to factory defaults. (Reset Instructions)

Ethernet Port—Connect wired devices to your wireless network with ethernet (network) cables. The light is green when an ethernet device is connected and active
on this port. The light blinks green when the range extender is sending or receiving data over the port.

Get started

There are two ways to use your Linksys extender: as a wireless range extender or as a wired range extender (access point). Wireless range extenders boost Wi-Fi range for better coverage and increased signal
strength. Wired range extender (access points) create new Wi-Fi hotspots when connected to a router or access point with an ethernet cable. Both scenarios require a router with a working Internet connection.
Before starting setup, decide whether you want to use your RE6300 as a wireless range extender or as a wired range extender (access point). Instructions for both setups are in this guide.

Setting up as a wireless range extender
Does your router have a WPS button?

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a simple way to connect Wi-Fi devices with Push
Button Connect. Routers that support WPS have a button that might look like one of these symbols

Yes Continue with Wi-Fi Protected Setup
below No (or not sure) Continue with Browser-based setup on back panel

NOTE — The WPS button will not work if you have disabled WPS on your router.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

1. Plug the range extender into an electrical outlet close to your router. You can move the range extender to an ideal location later in step 5. After being plugged in, the indicator light on the front of your range extender will start to blink green for up to a minute
2. Wait for the light on the front of your range extender to start to blink orange before going to step 3. This can take up to a minute.
   
3. Extend your 2.4 GHz network.
   a. Press the WPS button on your router. Within the next two minutes complete step 3b.
   b. Press the WPS button on the side of your range extender. The light on the front of your range extender will blink green.
   
   Watch the light on the front of your range extender to verify whether the connection was successful.
   If it turns solid green, the connection was successful. Move to step 4.
   If it blinks orange blink orange, the connection failed. You may try again by repeating step 3 or try browser-based setup.
4. Extend your second network (if you have a dual-band router).
   You may skip this step if you have a single-band router or if you don’t want to extend both networks.
   a. Press the WPS button on the side of your router again. Within the next two minutes complete step 4b.
   b. Press the WPS button on your range extender again. The WPS button will light up and the light on the front of your range extender will start to blink green.
   Watch the light on the front of your range extender to verify whether the connection was successful. If it turns solid green, the connection was successful. If it blink orange the connection failed. Try again by repeating step 4.
5. Move your range extender to an ideal spot.
   Unplug your range extender and plug it back in midway between your router and the area without Wi-Fi. Using your mobile device or laptop, be sure you have at least two bars (around 50%) of your router’s Wi-Fi signal at that location. If you don’t have two bars, move the range extender closer to the router.
   
6. Check light for connection quality
   Check light for connection quality. It can take up to a minute for the ranger extender to start up after moving it. During this period you will see the blinking green light once again.
   Solid green Ready to use.
   Solid orange Weak connection to the router. Find an outlet closer to your router.
   Blinking orange Not connected to the router. Find an outlet closer to your router.
7. How to connect your Wi-Fi devices to the extended network you just created.
   you have set up your range extender with a Linksys Max-Stream Router, give your extended network the same Wi-Fi name and password as your main WiFi to take advantage of seamless roaming.
   Connected devices will select the main or extended network as you move around the coverage area.
   If you do not have a router with seamless roaming, select the extended network on your device’s Wi-Fi manager. Extended networks are identified by “_Ext” added to the end of your main network
   name(s). Password(s) will be the same as those for your main network(s).
   
   Your range extender is now set up. Enjoy your extended Wi-Fi coverage.

Accessing your range extender settings after setup

Your range extender’s default admin password is “admin”. It is highly recommended that you change this after WPS setup. To change or view range extender settings, first connect to an extended network.
If your extended network has the same network name as your main network:

• On a computer that is not connected to a wireless network, use an ethernet cable to connect directly to the range extender. Open a browser and go to extender.linksys.com.
  OR
• Connect to your range extender wirelessly. Depending on your operating system, one of the following links will get you to the login page. Choose one and enter it in your browser. Android and Windows: http://RE6300-XXX Mac OS X or iOS: http://RE6300-XXX.local

NOTE: XXX are the last 3 digits of your range extender’s MAC address. You can find the MAC address on the back of your range extender If your extended network has a different network name than your
main network (for example mywifi_EXT): Connect to the extended network. In a browser, go to http://extender.linksys.com and enter your admin password.

Browser-based setup

1. Plug in the range extender.
   Plug in the range extender midway between your router and the area without Wi-Fi. Using your mobile device or laptop, be sure you have at least two bars (around 50%) of your router’s Wi-Fi signal at that location. If you don’t have two bars, move the range extender closer to the router. You can move the range extender to an ideal location later using the setup software.
   
2. Wait for the indicator light on the front of your range extender to blink orange. This can take up to a minute.
   
3. Connect to range extender setup network.
   On a computer, phone or tablet, connect to the Wi-Fi network: Linksys Extender Setup – XXX. (XXX are the last three digits of your range extender’s MAC address.)
   
4. Launch setup
   Enter http://extender.linksys.com (or try http://192.168.1.1) in a browser to complete setup. Follow the on-screen instructions to select your network to extend, customize your extended network name and
   password and find the best spot using Spot Finder Technology.
   
5. How to connect your Wi-Fi devices to the extended network you just created
   If you have set up your range extender with a Linksys Max-Stream
   Router, give your extended network the same Wi-Fi name and password as your main WiFi to take advantage of seamless roaming. Connected devices will select the main or extended network as you move around the coverage area. If you do not have a router with seamless roaming, select the extended network on your device’s Wi-Fi manager. Extended networks are identified by “_Ext” added to the end of your main network name(s). Password(s) will be the same as those for your main network(s).

Setting up as wired range extender (access point)

Browser-based setup

1. Prepare for setup
   Be sure your router has a working Internet connection and you have an ethernet cable long enough to connect the router to the range extender.
2. Plug the Linksys range extender into a wall outlet
3. Wait for the blinking light to change from green to orange.
4. Use an ethernet cable to connect the range extender to the LAN port of your router.
5. Connect to the Linksys Extender Setup network. On a computer, phone, or tablet, connect to the Wi-Fi network Linksys
   Extender Setup – XXX, where XXX are the last 3 digits of your range extender’s MAC address.
   
6. Launch setup
   Enter http://extender.linksys.com (or try http://192.168.1.1) in a browser to complete setup. Be sure to choose “As a wired range extender (access point)” when asked how you want to use your range
   extender. Follow the on-screen instructions to create a network name and password for your access point.
   
7. Connect your Wi-Fi devices to the extended network you just created.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can I not find “Linksys Extender Setup – XXX” in my Wi-Fi list? Make sure the light on the range extender is blinking orange. If you still can’t see the setup network, move the device being used for setup closer to the range extender. Wait for a blinking orange light and refresh the Wi-Fi list.

On browser-based setup, why do I not see the setup screen on http://extender.linksys.com?
On your device’s Wi-Fi manager, make sure “Linksys Extender Setup – XXX” is selected, then refresh your browser.
On browser-based setup, why can I not see my network name on the
“Choose your wireless” page? Your range extender might be too far from the router. Move it closer and refresh the list.
I correctly entered my network password during browser-based setup.
Why does the “Enter your password” page still show an error?
The range extender likely is at the outside limit of the router’s signal. The signal could be getting interrupted before your password makes it to the router. Move your range extender closer to the router and let Spot Finder Technology help you find the ideal location. The further you are from the area in Spot Finder Technology labeled “Just Right” the more likely you are to have issues with your network password.

Why can’t I connect my range extender with WPS?
There are a number of reasons that WPS could fail:

• Your router and range extender are too far apart
• The two-minute connection window expired
• The WPS button on either range extender or router did not depress all the way
• WPS is disabled on the router
• MAC filtering is enabled on the router

How do I reset the range extender to factory defaults? Using a paperclip or safety pin, press the reset button on the side of the range extender and hold until the indicator light starts blinking green.

Why am I experiencing poor signal and slow speed on my
range extender?

Be sure that you’ve placed your range extender in an ideal location, as indicated by Spot Finder Technology. NOTE: When you move around your home, your wireless devices may not disconnect from the router until they lose the Wi-Fi signal. This may occur even if the Wi-Fi signal from the range extender signal is stronger (and vice versa). If you are having connection issues, select the network with the stronger signal.

SHORT PRESS in on the rotary dial to confirm your selection AND to move to the next segment.
EXIT THE SEGMENT you are in and return to the FLASH segment, by pressing and holding the rotary dial for 2 seconds.
IF NO ACTION IS MADE, the unit will revert to the FLASH segment after 10 seconds and will keep whatever setting is highlighted at time out.

FLASH MODES

COLOR MODE
In Color Mode, the LINK maintains color consistency to +/- 150°K throughout the entire power range. Color mode is also the factory default and is best for creating standard portraits.
ACTION MODE
In Action Mode, the unit’s flash duration gets shorter as power is reduced. Flash duration is basically a measurement of the burn off time of the flash once it is fired. The shorter the flash duration, the crisper your action shots in studio will be. Action mode is best utilized when stopping action (water splashes, dancer’s jumping, etc.) when you are in an environment where you have full control over your ambient light.
HSS MODE
High speed sync (HSS) mode is different from Action Mode in that it allows you to exceed your camera’s max sync speed with studio flash. The LINK can sync up to 1/8000s with compatible cameras. HSS MODE is necessary when you wish to exceed your camera’s sync speed. In HSS MODE the flash will pulse throughout the duration of the image being taken so that the full frame is exposed properly and no banding will occur. HSS is used primarily in outdoor situations where you are looking to capture movement,
or achieve a very shallow depth of field, and the ambient light is unable to be controlled.
TTL MODE
TTL Mode allows for automatic brightness adjustment for subjects who move rapidly towards and away from the flash unit, or in situations where the conditions are rapidly changing.
OFF The flash modes can all be turned off if you want to only use the modeling light.

MODEL MODES

FULL
The modeling light stays at FULL POWER regardless of the flash output.
TRACK
The modeling light tracks the flashpower output, brightening or dimming automatically as the flashpower is adjusted up or down.
ADJUST (ADJ)
The modeling light output can be adjusted independently from the flash output.
OFF
The model modes can all be turned off if you are wanting to only use the modeling light.

MODELING LIGHT FOR VIDEO USE
Offering an 800W equivalent LED, the LINK pairs a brighter light with a quiet fan, for those doing video work. Color correction domes are available (separately) in both FULL and HALF CTO.

SYNC MODES

SLAVE
The slave eye is on, causing the LINK unit to flash simultaneously whenever it “sees” the flash from another unit (still active whether or not the sync jack is in use).
REMOTE
This setting activates the internal CyberSync Transceiver. Additionally, you can set the LINK to REMOTE when utilizing the CSXCV and PocketWizard MC2 port at the top of the unit.
When using a PocketWizard MC2 the FREQ and CHAN segments will be empty. To make adjustments to the ZONE, CONTROL, and CHANNEL segments for the PocketWizard, complete the following steps:
PRESS AND HOLD the rotary dial to enter the selection menu. The segment that you are in will blink.
SHORT PRESS in on the rotary dial to confirm your selection AND to move to the next segment. Following the SYNC segment, the LINK will then provide the appropriate PocketWizard fields beginning with “2on” for ZONE, followed by “ctl” for CONTROL, and lastly “ch” for CHANNEL.
ROTATE THE DIAL to navigate between the available options in each segment.
SHORT PRESS in on the rotary dial to confirm your selection AND to move to the next segment.
SLAVE / REMOTE Both SLAVE and REMOTE are activated.
NONE
Set to NONE when plugging into the SYNC JACK for firing the unit.

FREQUENCY

The frequency (FREQ) ranges from 1 – 16. Each flash unit in your setup should all be set to the same frequency, so that they all fire together.

CHANNEL

The channel (CHAN) ranges from 1 – 16. Each flash unit in your setup should be set to its own individual channel so that it can be controlled independently from each light in your setup. The CHAN is only necessary when using the CyberSync remote system (i.e. CyberCommander, CyberSense, or BUFF App).

RECYCLE / READY INDICATOR

Recycle indication is provided by an audible beep and by the modeling lamp dimming during recycle, then restoring brightness when recycle is complete. These can be set to be used separately or in conjunction with one another. It can also be set to OFF if no indication is desired.

BATTERY INDICATOR

The BATTERY segment is not accessible via the rotary dial and is only used to visually indicate battery life. This segment will be EMPTY when no battery is connected.

LINK BATTERY

INSTALLING THE BATTERY
The battery, sold separately, slides into the channel on the underside of the unit, covering the AC input, and locking into place.
BATTERY LIFE INDICATOR
The battery life is indicated by the small lights on the rear of the battery and are illuminated when the button is pushed.
A fully charged battery will provide approximately 250 full power flashes before needing to be recharged. The LED modeling light of the LINK can be powered via the battery however, be aware if running at full power the battery will last about 45 min. (assuming no flash use during this time).
REMOVING THE BATTERY
The battery can be removed from the LINK by pressing down on the tab and sliding out from the channel. It is recommended to remove the battery prior to transporting or storing the LINK.
EXPECTED LIFETIME
The battery should last between 2 – 3 years under normal use.
MAINTAINING THE BATTERY
If you aren’t going to use the battery for an extended period of time (>3 months) it is best to leave the batteries partially discharged (40-60% of full charge) rather than fully charged.CHARGING THE BATTERY

The battery charger, sold separately, can charge up to two LINK batteries consecutively. The charger has indicator lights notifying what charging state the battery is in. When two batteries are charging, one will charge fully, and then the second will begin to charge. It takes approximately 90 min. for a depleted battery to be charged to full.

HUB REMOTE

The HUB remote (sold separately) is a new addition to our CyberSync remote system. It provides all of the necessary communication between the camera and the LINK to trigger the flash unit. While it is camera specific for usage of TTL and HSS, the HUB will function as a standard trigger similar to our CyberSync Trigger Transmitter and can be used with any camera brand.

ATTACHING THE HUB TO YOUR CAMERA

Slide the bottom of the HUB onto your camera’s hot shoe. Turn the locking wheel clockwise to lock the HUB on to your camera.

POWERING THE HUB ON / OFF

Additional features to be added in future versions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

GENERAL QUESTIONS

Does the placement of the battery cause an issue with too much weight being on the back?
If the handle on the light stand is not stiff enough, the LINK will lean backwards under the weight of the battery, or fowards under the weight of a modifier (softbox, octabox, umbrella). To remedy this, simply pull out the handle of the light stand to loosen it, turn the large knob clockwise to tighten the final retention force and then pull in the handle of the light stand to re-tighten it.
What is the usable HSS range?
9 stops (full to 1/256 power)

MODELING LIGHT

Is the LED single source? Yes.
What is the CRI measurement? 90
What is the TLCI measurement? 93
What is the lumen measurement? 12,000

What is the actual wattage of the LED?
Running on AC: 95W | Running on battery: 85W
This does not affect the brightness, and is simply more efficient on battery power.
What is the LUX measurement?
Lux is not a measurement of the output of a light source. Lux describes how much light is shining on a surface. It is dependent on three things:

1. The amount of light emitted by a source.
2. The distance between the light source and the measurement surface.
3. The surface area of the measurement surface It is highly context dependent and cannot be specified up-front.

VIDEO USE | LED Modeling Light and Fan Information
What is the decibel measurement of the fan with the LED modeling light at full power? 35dBA
What is the watt equivalent of the LED modeling light at full power?
The LED modeling light at full power emits the equivalent amount of light as a 600W Halogen bulb or a 800W Incandescent bulb.

BATTERY

How long will the battery last with the modeling light at full power (no flash)?
Approx. 60 minutes How many full power flashes on a fully charged battery (without the LED on)?
250
What is the expected lifetime of the battery before needing to be replaced?
2-3 years
Does the charger charge the two batteries consecutively or at the same time?
Consecutively
How long does it take for one battery to fully charge from depletion?
90 minutes
Will the LINK work with the Vagabond Mini?
No. The LINK draws more power than the Vagabond Mini is capable of supplying.
Will the LINK work with the Vagabond Extreme or the Vagabond 2?
Yes. The maximum output of the inverter must be 400W or greater. Pure sine wave is preferred but modified sine wave will also work. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT USE A SQUARE WAVE INVERTER!
Are there any best practices for storing and/or maintaining the life of the battery?

1. Avoid over-discharging the battery (i.e. using the battery until the LINK shuts down, wait a few minutes for the battery to recover a bit and then continuing to use the battery until every last Joule is extracted). Repeated complete discharges can cause induce errors in the BMS circuitry that will prevent the battery from fully recharging.
2. If you aren’t going to use the battery for an extended period of time (>3 months) it is best to leave the batteries partially discharged (40-60% of full charge) rather than fully charged. When a Lithium-Ion battery is fully charged, it will oxidize much faster, which reduces its useful life.
