Battery pack life
When the operating period becomes extremely short even after
charging the battery pack fully, a new battery pack is needed.
NOTE for the rapid chargers : The charger rapidly charges a
battery pack to a specied level, not a completed level, to pre-
vent overcharging. Leave the battery pack in the charger for a
few more hours (up to 15 hours; depending on battery condi-
tion) after the LED indicator turns green, to charge the battery
completely.
