Recommendation
Li-Ion batteries are different from Ni-Cd batteries in that
it is not necessary to completely charge and discharge
them to prolong the battery life. Therefore, charging the
battery in intervals, and not for extended periods is rec-
ommended.
If your batteries seem to have no capacity even after
being fully charged, charge them again. If they still
do not retain a charge
must be purchased.
