The gas gauge is not full after charging the battery

This may indicate that the charging process terminated prema-

„ „
The gas gauge reads "full," but the indicator light is
still blinking
If you charge your battery daily, rely on the gas gauge reading to
„ „
determine battery capacity. The charging process may continue
even if the gas gauge reads full. External power can be removed
because the battery is fully charged.
The indicator only blinks when the battery is very low. It is on
„ „
steady when charging.
( It's possible that the unit is "almost" charged but the gas gauge
„ „
says it is fully charged. Leaving the GD6000 on external power
will re-align the Gas gauge full indicator . )

My battery seems to have less and less capacity

As your battery ages, the maximum capacity that it can hold
naturally decreases, and even the best maintained batteries
eventually need to be retired. Consider replacing the battery if
you are not getting the usage you need from it.
