We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 50 °F and 86 °F (10 °C and 30 °C). Outside the temperature range of 32 °F to 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C), the charge indicator flashes rapidly and charging stops.
A lithium ion battery pack can be charged at any charge state. Unlike conventional battery packs, you do not need to completely use or discharge it before charging.
To conserve battery power, turn off the camcorder instead of leaving it in record pause mode.
We recommend that you prepare battery packs 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.
