Note :

The remaining battery power and time are displayed as there are from the battery information. Accurate data may not be displayed according to the battery condition. Replace the battery as soon as possible when the remaining battery power and time are low.

Precautions for Batteries

Store the battery in a cool and dry place when not in use. Do not expose the battery to high temperatures (such as in a car under direct sunlight). This will cause battery leakage and shorten the battery life.

Operating time is shortened if the battery terminal is dirty.

If the operating time shortens drastically even after charging, the battery may be reaching the end of its life. Replace the battery with a new one.

Charging

Use up the charge completely before you charge the battery. If the battery is not fully discharged before charging, the battery capacity may drop after repeated cycles.

If the battery capacity drops due to repetitive shallow charging and discharging, it may be recovered by using up the charge completely and then fully charging the battery again.

If you charge the battery immediately after using while the battery is still warm, it may not be fully charged.

It is recommended that you charge the battery in an environment between 10 f and 35 f. The battery may not be fully charged or the charging time may be prolonged if charged under low temperatures (below 10 f).
