The time required for charging varies depending on conditions of battery usage.
Charging takes longer at high or low temperatures and when the battery has not been
used for some time.
Battery will be warm during charging and for some time thereafter.
Battery will run out if not used for long periods of time, even after being charged.
We do not recommend frequently charging the battery.
(Frequently charging battery reduces maximum usage time and can cause battery to
expand.)
If available battery power is significantly reduced, battery is reaching end of lifespan.
