Abstract
A printing apparatus includes: a battery accommodating portion; a conveyor; a printing device; a power-source connector; an electric charger that charges the battery power source from an external power source when the power-source connector is connected to the external power source; and a degradation-degree detector that detects a degradation degree of the battery power source. A controller executes: a charge processing for controlling the electric charger using at least one charge parameter to charge the battery power source; storing data on the degradation degree of the battery power source based on a result of detection of the degradation-degree detector; a determining processing for determining whether a particular determination criterion relating to the degradation degree is satisfied in the stored data; and correcting the at least one charge parameter in accordance with a result of determination in the determining processing.
