Note on the Terminals
If the terminals (metal parts on the back) are not clean, the battery duration will
be shortened.
When the terminals are not clean or when the battery pack has not been used
for a long time, install and remove the battery pack from time to time. This
improves the contact condition. Also, wipe the + and - terminals with a soft
cloth or paper.
