- 5 -      Notes about the Battery PackuGeneral Battery Characteristics The battery is a consumable and its performance over time will gradually decrease.   While not in use, the battery will slowly discharge itself.   Prepare a battery pack that has been charged relatively recently (1 to 2 days earlier). To ensure that the battery lasts for a long time, we recommend that you turn off the printer whenever possible. When used at low temperatures, battery performance will temporarily decline. Be sure to have a fully-charged spare battery standing by if the printer will operate in a cold environ-ment.uCharging the Battery Pack  -bient temperature.
