(*)
The Heater consumes a lot of electric power to shrink the protection sleeve fast. Therefore, the battery output voltage descends.
In the battery that repeats 300-times electrical charge and discharges or more, the voltage descent under heating is large. When
the voltage decent of the battery is large, the heating time is long, and the heater error 17 or the heater error 27 might be
displayed. If the battery is charged full and the same error message is displayed, the battery might be
weakening. Please use
a new battery or use the AC adaptor.
