Checking battery performance routine:
a) Charge the battery when the device is powered on: if the battery capacity
reaches 100% or the battery continues to be charged, it indicates the
battery works well. If the battery capacity is less than 90%, the time to
increase 1% of battery capacity is less than 5 minutes. If the battery
capacity is more than 90%, it need more time to charge the battery.
b) In stand-by status, the standby indicator shows the status of the battery.
