Depending on the usage conditions, it may swell as it reaches the end of its life. When the typical battery life of approximately one year or about 500 charge cycles is exceeded, the battery deteriorates. If the battery begins to swell, or the amount of time it can be used after a full charge becomes dramatically shorter, the battery should be replaced with a new one. Contact your technical support representative. Do not touch the terminals of the battery. Failure to observe this may cause poor contact. When the battery is left installed in the product, it discharges electricity gradually in small amounts even if the products power is off.
