Storage Precautions

Though a rechargeable lithium ion battery provides high
capacity in a compact configuration, long-term storage while
charged can cause it to deteriorate.
If you do not plan to use a battery for some time, fully use
up its charge before storing it.
Always remove the battery from the camera when you are
not using it. Leaving a battery in the camera can cause it to
discharge and go dead, which will require longer charging
when you need to use the camera.
Store batteries in a cool, dry place (20°C (68°F) or lower).
