wear down. When the operating time becomes
shorter even if the rechargeable battery is fully
charged under the specified condition, replace it
with a new one.
Operating temperature:
Rechargeable batteries are chemical products.
Battery efficiency may vary even when operating

Using the battery outside the above temperature
range may result in declining efficiency and shorter
battery life.
