level of the battery charge (see View the Battery Status on
page 1-14).
A battery can withstand many cycles of charging and use.
The actual number of charges depends on your operating
conditions. If the battery does not hold a charge long enough
for you to complete your work, then it needs to be replaced.
Good maintenance practice is to replace the battery
