Reduced RuntimeUpdated an hour ago

A battery that drains significantly faster than normal may be showing signs of wear.

Possible Causes

  • Natural battery ageing
  • High-demand applications
  • Prolonged storage
  • Frequent deep discharging
  • Cell deterioration

Resolution

  • Fully charge the battery before use.
  • Avoid storing batteries in a discharged state.
  • Store batteries in suitable conditions.
  • Compare performance against another battery of the same specification.

If runtime has reduced considerably, replacement may be the most cost-effective solution.
