  Battery will be warm during charging and for some time thereafter.
  Battery will run out if not used for long periods of time, even after being charged.

(Frequently charging battery reduces maximum usage time and can cause battery to expand.)
  Do not disassemble or modify the charger.
   If available battery power is significantly reduced, battery is reaching end of lifespan. Please
