ABSTRACT:
An electronic apparatus including: a battery; a notification unit; a storage unit that stores a reference charging time and a reference battery voltage which are values according to charging characteristics of the battery and are used as determination reference values to determine whether or not the battery is normally charged; a charged state determination unit that determines whether or not the charging voltage is applied to the battery; a voltage detection unit that detects a voltage of the battery; and a notification control unit that controls the notification unit to make a notification indicating an abnormal state, when the voltage of the battery detected by the voltage detection unit does not reach the reference battery voltage, even though a condition where the charged state determination unit determines that the charging voltage is applied to the battery continues for the reference charging time.
