Maximizing Battery Life
Batteries are chemical devices. If the batteries are left sitting on a shelf
for long periods of time outside the CN50, the batteries slowly
discharge, eventually to zero if left uncharged. The battery chemistry
resists normal degradation if you store the battery in a charger as
opposed to leaving the battery in a discharged state. See the following
table for tips to maximize the life of your battery.
