Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, according to the above configuration, if the user forgets to turn off the switch while operating a vacuum cleaner or turning on a flashlight, the discharge of the secondary battery 12 progresses, and as shown in FIG. As shown, the voltage V between the terminals of the battery rapidly decreases after a certain time T 1 when it reaches the final voltage V 1 . Further, if this state continues, the battery 12 becomes over-discharged, which causes many problems, such as significantly deteriorating the charging/discharging cycle life of the battery 12 and leading to failure of the battery 12.
Especially when used as a flashlight, if you forget to turn off the switch 7, the user will not be able to detect it because it will not make any noise, so there is a risk that you will forget to turn off the switch 7 frequently, making it a defective product. It had many aspects.
