Reduced RuntimeUpdated 2 hours ago

A shorter operating time between charges is often one of the first signs of battery deterioration.

Possible Causes

  • Natural battery ageing
  • Frequent heavy usage
  • Long periods of storage
  • Repeated deep discharging
  • Cell wear over time

Resolution

  • Fully charge the battery before use.
  • Store batteries correctly when not in use.
  • Avoid allowing batteries to remain fully discharged for extended periods.
  • Compare performance against another battery of the same model if available.

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