The battery pack continues to discharge a minimal portion of its power while installed in the camera, even with the camera power off. This will shorten the battery life. Remove it from the camera during extended periods of disuse. Place it into the case provided and store it in a cool, dry place. Be sure to charge it fully before using it after a period of extended storage.

Repeated recharging before the charge is completely discharged may diminish the charge capacity. Completely discharge and fully charge the battery pack several times to restore its capacity.

If the time over which the battery pack can be used diminishes substantially even when it is fully charged, the battery pack should be replaced.
