The performance will be at the best condition if you remove the battery when the green
indicator is on. Then remove the power adaptor from the wall outlet.
The charger will enter the protection mode when the yellow indicator flashes, which means the
temperature or the circuit is abnormal. Do not charge the battery at this moment, just remove
the battery and turn off the power of the charger.

battery.

otherwise, it will have bad effects on its life and performance. Remove the battery from the
