About the internal battery
s4HE LITHIUM POLYMER BATTERY INSIDE 63 IS A CONSUMABLE
battery. The gradual deterioration of the charging ability is
not a failure, but a property of a polymer battery. The bat-
tery may recover by fully discharging, and then recharging,
several times before using the unit again.
