for a long period of time, it may not accept a full charge. This is a normal condition and
does not indicate a problem. You can recharge the battery cartridge fully after discharging
it completely and recharging a couple of times.
If you wish to charge two battery cartridges, allow 15 minutes between charging on the
high capacity battery charger.
