Charging the Battery

Upon purchase, the battery is not fully charged.
Charge the battery before use.

Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be
used.
Even during storage, a charged battery will gradually drain and lose
its capacity.

After recharging the battery, detach it and disconnect the
charger from the power outlet.

When not using the camera, remove the battery.
If the battery is left in the camera for a prolonged period, a small
amount of power current will keep released, resulting in excess
discharge and shorter battery life. Store the battery with the
protective cover (provided) attached. Storing the battery when it is
fully charged may lower the battery performance.

The battery charger can also be used in foreign countries.
The battery charger is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/
60 Hz power source. If necessary, attach a commercially-available
plug adapter for the respective country or region. Do not attach any
portable voltage transformer to the battery charger. Doing so may
damage the battery charger.

If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after having
been fully charged, the battery has reached the end of its
service life.
Check the battery’s recharge performance and purchase a new
battery.
Tips for Using the Battery and Charger

After disconnecting the charger’s power plug, do not touch the prongs for
approx. 5 sec.

Do not charge any battery other than a Battery Pack LP-E17.

Battery Pack LP-E17 is dedicated to Canon products only. Using it with
an incompatible battery charger or product may result in malfunction or
accidents for which Canon cannot be held liable.
