Lithium ion batteries are both compact and capable of
storing large quantities of power. However, if they are
stored for long periods while charged, the performance
of the battery can be impaired.
●
If the battery will not be used for some time, run the
battery flat before storing it.
●
If the battery is kept in storage for a long period, charge
the battery and then run it flat again at least once a year.
●
Always remove the battery from the digital camera or
battery charger when it is not being used. Left
installed, minute amounts of current flow even when
unused, and the battery may become excessively
drained and no longer function.
●
Attach the cap and store in a cool place.
✽
The battery should be stored in a dry location with an
ambient temperature b15°C and +25°C
(+59°F and +77°F).
✽
Do not leave the battery in hot or extremely cold places.

Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery.
Notes on storage
To avoid damaging the battery or shortening its
life, observe the following:
●
Do not drop the battery or otherwise subject it to
strong impacts.
●
Do not immerse the battery in water.
To ensure that you obtain optimum battery
performance, observe the following:
●
Always keep the battery terminals clean.
●
Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Storing the
battery for long periods in a hot location can shorten
the battery life.
If you use the battery for a long period, the camera
body and the battery itself will become warm. This is
normal and is not a malfunction. Use the AC power
adapter supplied with the camera if you are taking
pictures or viewing images for a long period of time.
