On the batteries

Battery life of Nickel-Metal Hydride
batteries

• The battery life is limited. The battery capacity

decreases little by little as you use it more and
more, and as time passes. When the battery
operating time seems to have been considerably
shortened, a probable cause is that the batteries
have reached the end of their life.

• The battery life varies depending on

storage,operating conditions, and environment,
and is different for each battery.
