■CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LI-ION BATTERY PACK
• As the battery pack is charged and discharged repeatedly, the
battery capacity decreases.
• Even if the battery pack is unused, the battery pack
degrades.
• It takes a longer time to charge the battery pack in cooler
areas.
• The life of battery pack is shortened when it is charged and
discharged in hotter areas. When the battery pack is stored
in a hot location, the battery pack degrades quicker. Do not

it is fully charged, replace the battery pack. Continuing to
charge and discharge the battery pack may result in
electrolyte leakage.
