Reduced RuntimeUpdated 2 hours ago

If you're getting noticeably less runtime than normal, battery capacity may be deteriorating.

Possible Causes

  • Battery ageing
  • Frequent heavy use
  • Long-term storage
  • Repeated deep discharging
  • Exposure to extreme temperatures

Resolution

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

Batteries naturally lose capacity over time and may eventually require replacement.
