Appendix 231

Charging the Battery

zSince this is a lithium-ion battery, you need not completely discharge it before recharging.

zIt takes approximately 1 hours 45 minutes to fully charge the battery from a depleted state (based on Canon’s testing

standards).

Charging it within a temperature range of 5 – 40 °C (41 – 104 °F) is recommended.

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

zYou are advised to charge the battery on the day of use, or one day before, to ensure a full charge.

Even charged batteries continue to discharge naturally.

zIf the performance of the battery diminishes substantially even when it is fully charged, its life has been exceeded and it should be replaced.
