■ Characteristics of the Li-ion Battery Pack • As the battery pack is charged and discharged repeatedly, the battery capacity decreases. • Even if the battery pack is unused, the battery pack degrades. • It takes a longer time to charge the battery pack in cooler areas. • The life of battery pack is shortened when it is charged and discharged in hotter areas. When the battery pack is stored in a hot location, the battery pack degrades quicker. Do not leave the battery pack in vehicles or near
