off and approximately 3.5 hours when the power is on (may need a longer charging

it again. Doing so may damage the battery.

Initializing the Battery Pack
You need to initialize a new battery pack before using it for the first time or when
the actual operating time of a battery pack is much less than expected. Initializing
is the process of fully charging, discharging, and then charging. It can take several
hours.
A software tool called “Gauge Reset” is provided for the purpose. Use the G-Manager
program and select the Battery tab to find the tool.
