Recharging the Battery

Tips for Using the Battery and ChargerRecharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be used.

Even during non-use or storage, a charged battery will gradually discharge and lose its power.

After recharging the battery, detach it and unplug 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 is released, resulting in excess discharge and shorter battery life. Store the battery with the protective cover attached. Storing the battery after it is fully charged can lower the battery’s 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 can damage the battery charger.

If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after being fully charged, the battery has worn out.

Purchase a new battery.

Do not charge any battery other than Battery Pack LP-E5.

Battery Pack LP-E5 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.
