Notes on Using the Batteries
Charging and recording times
•These times vary — the safest policy is always to have 2 or 3 times as many battery packs as you think you will need.
•You will get more recording time if you turn the camcorder off between shots, instead of leaving it in record pause mode.

•Recording time will be shorter than usual at low temperatures. You can use the battery pack between 32° and 104°F (0° to 40°C), but it works best between 50° and 86°F (10° to 30°C).
•If the battery pack starts to give you much less recording time than usual, it has reached the end of its life and must be replaced.
