## Limiting the charge amount [Battery Care]

Charge and discharge cycles cause the capacity of the lithium-ion battery to decrease, resulting in shortening the battery life. You can use the [Battery Care] mode to reduce the capacity decrement caused by charge and discharge cycles, i.e., prevent shortening the battery life.

1. From the Home menu, select [Settings] [Common Settings] [Battery Care] desired setting type.

Type | Description
[On] | Uses the [Battery Care] mode.
[Off] | Uses the normal recharge mode. (Default setting)

Note

- When [Battery Care] is set to [On], the maximum recharge capacity is limited to 90%. As a result, the battery life between charges is shortened by about 10%.

- In the [Battery Care] mode, the first bar of the battery indicator will disappear somewhat quicker than normal. This is a result of stopping recharging the battery before becoming fully charged (in order to extend the battery lifespan) and is not a malfunction.
