Battery life

The battery life is limited. Battery capacity decreases little by little as you use it more and more, and as time passes. When the battery operating time seems to have been considerably shortened, a probable cause is that the battery pack has reached the end of its life.

The battery life varies depending on storage, operating conditions, and environment, and is different for each battery pack.
