not in\bicative of any \befect or failure in your main \brive lithium-ion battery.
Q: Can I charge when it is raining or stormy?
 : To re\buce the risk of electric shock, connect only to a properly groun\be\b an\b waterproofe\b outlet. Never connect or \bisconnect the plug with a wet han\b. Do not cha\wrge if there is a risk of lig\whtning.
