      Kelly RoyAug 26, 2025
      The battery may need to be recharged to ensure it is sufficiently charged. In cold environments, battery life decreases. Batteries also have a limited lifespan; if the operating time remains short after a full charge, the battery is likely worn out and needs replacement.
