Capacity
The chart below allows you to compare the Digital Camera Battery to the battery in the product you are using. If the capacity is twice the capacity of you products battery it will run twice as long. This chart is for the DCB30WB, the 40 and 80 watt models have even higher capacity. If this chart means nothing to you, plug the Digital Camera Battery in and be glad that it runs a long time.
Multiply your (camera battery’s Voltage) x (it’s AH rating) to get the Watt capacity.
Sample: 7.2V x 1.3AH = 9.36 Watts (The 40 Watt D.C.B. would last over 4 times longer.)

When the Digital Camera Battery is powering a camera and flash at the same time several factors will contribute to the number of exposures you will get from a single charge. Here is a list of the most common factors you will encounter (some you can control) :
•Limit the LCD usage, this uses almost as much power as taking a picture.
•If the camera has a battery saver mode, try to enable even when external power connected.
•Both cameras and flash units consume power just being on, turn them off during extended standby.
•Some cables use power even when the connected device is off, turn off the DCB when not in use.
•High
•Image stabilized lenses consume power, regardless of the number of exposures taken.
•Keep the DCB from extreme temperatures. (Under coat in cold weather, out of direct sun in heat.)
•Charge the DCB prior to using and do not leave on charge for extended periods.
•Remove DCB from any case or holder during charge, heat buildup will prevent proper charging.
