• Since this is a lithium ion battery pack, you need not completely discharge it before recharging. It can be recharged at any point. However, since the maximum number of charge cycles is approximately 300 times (battery life), you are recommended to charge the battery pack after having discharged it completely to prolong battery life.

It takes approximately 130 minutes to fully charge the battery pack from a fully discharged state (based on Canon’s testing standard). Charging it within a temperature range of 5° to 40 °C (41° to 104 °F) is recommended.

Charge times may vary according to the ambient temperature and the battery pack’s charge state.

See Battery Capacity (p. 147).

You may hear a noise during charging. This is not a malfunction.

Handling Precautions

Keep the battery pack terminals () clean at all times. Dirty terminals may cause poor contact between the battery pack and camera. Polish the terminals with a tissue or a dry cloth before charging or using the battery pack.

Do not rapidly overturn or wave the battery charger around when it contains the battery pack. The battery pack could fly out.

At low temperatures, battery pack performance may be reduced and the low battery icon may appear earlier than usual. Under these conditions, resuscitate the battery pack by warming it in a pocket immediately before use. However, ensure that there are no metallic items in the pocket that could cause a short circuit, such as a key holder, etc.

Do not place anything, such as tablecloths, carpets, bedding or cushions, on top of the battery charger while it is charging. Heat will build up and could result in a fire.

Do not charge batteries other than Battery Pack NB-1LH or NB-1L in this charger.

The battery pack continues to discharge a minimal portion of its power while installed in the camera, even with the power off, or in the charger. This will shorten battery life.
