Reduced RuntimeUpdated 8 hours ago

A noticeable drop in runtime is often one of the first signs of battery wear.

Possible Causes

• Natural ageing of battery cells
• Frequent heavy-duty use
• Extended periods of storage
• Repeated deep discharging
• Exposure to extreme temperatures

Resolution

• Fully charge the battery before use.
• Store batteries correctly when not in use.
• Avoid regularly running the battery completely flat.
• Compare performance against another battery of the same voltage and capacity.

If runtime has reduced significantly, the battery may be nearing the end of its service life.
