To protect the battery pack and prolong its life, do not charge it for longer than 24 hours continuously.

•Since this is a lithium ion battery pack, you need not completely discharge it before recharging. It can be recharged at any point.

•It takes approximately 95 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. 175).

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