  characteristics of the Li-ion Battery pack
•  As the battery pack is charged and discharged repeatedly, the 
battery capacity decreases.
•  Even if the battery pack is unused, the battery pack degrades.
•  It takes a longer time to charge the battery pack in cooler 
areas.
•  The life of battery pack is shortened when it is charged and 
discharged in hotter areas.  When the battery pack is stored in 
a hot location, the battery pack degrades quicker.  Do not leave 
the battery pack in vehicles or near heating appliances.
•  When the battery pack operating time becomes short, even 
if it is fully charged, replace the battery pack.  Continuing to 
charge and discharge the battery pack may result in electrolyte 
leakage.
