SHORT BATTERY LIFE AFTER RECHARGING
✓
NiMH batteries may be charged up to 500 or more full
charge/discharge cycles, and typically have a 4-year life. The
batteries may be reaching the end of their life cycle, and should
be replaced.
✓
Charger/adapter may not be supplying full charge – check the ac
outlet and the dc output (12 V dc) using a voltmeter on the
proper setting.
✓
Check that you are using the correct charger.
✓
The ac charger may be defective. To check, use the dc adapter
to charge the batteries.
