Service Life Battery
1. Batteries used under proper conditions of charging and
discharging can be used 500 cycles or more. Significantly reduced
service time in spite of proper charging means that the life of the
battery has been exceeded. At the end of service life, an increase
in internal resistance or an internal short-circuit failure may occur.
2. Batteries are chemical products involving internal chemical
reactions. Performance deteriorates not only with use but also
during prolonged storage. Normally, a battery will last two (2) years
(or 500 cycles) if used under proper conditions and not
overcharged or overdischarged. However, failure to satisfy
conditions concerning charging, temperature, and other factors
during actual use can lead to shortened life (or cycle life), damage
to products, and deterioration in performance due to leakage and
shortened service life.
