Check Point
Is the power cord connected?
Will another battery accept a
charge?
Are a Ni-MH battery and a Li-ion
battery connected at the same time?
Can another battery be charged?
Is the battery temperature appropri-
ate?
Is the ambient temperature appro-
priate?
Is the temperature of the battery
high?
Are you refresh charging the bat-
tery?
Check the number of times or days
you have used the battery.
Is the sound unusual?
While the charger is charging the
battery, it is normal for the unit to
heat up to some degree (about
104–140 °F, about 40–60 °C). If the
charger gets too hot, though, it may
be malfunctioning.
Does this occur immediately after
you start using the charger?

source.
If it can be charged, the charger is

After approximately 300 charge/dis-
charge cycles, the battery capacity will
decrease to approximately 60% of that
of a new battery.
