Battery Usage Time Information
A battery is an expendable supply, so when
using it over a long time, the capacity/battery
life is shortened. If the battery life is reduced
to under half of its initial time, we recommend
purchasing a new battery.
For long periods of not using the battery,
keep the battery after discharging it. This
extends the battery life time.
