Additional information

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 h as

reached the end of its life.

•The battery life varies depending on

storage, operating conditions, and

environment, and is different for each

battery pack.
