Reduced RuntimeUpdated 2 hours ago

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

Possible Causes

  • Natural battery ageing
  • Repeated heavy-duty use
  • Long periods in storage
  • Frequent deep discharging
  • Cell deterioration

Resolution

  • Fully charge the battery before use.
  • Avoid storing batteries in a fully discharged state.
  • Store batteries in a cool, dry environment.
  • Compare performance with another battery of the same specification.

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