Store the battery in a dark, cool place:

If you store it in a place where the temperature is high, the battery life will be short- ened. Especially be sure not to store the battery in an environment (in a closed ve- hicle) over 140 °F (60 °C): Neglecting this could damage the battery.

When you do not use DVD camcorder for a prolonged period of time:

It is recommended that you fully charge the battery once a year, attach it to the DVD camcorder and use it up; then remove the battery and store it in a cool place again.

Battery life:

The battery can be repeatedly charged and used, but will eventually be dead: The battery life varies greatly depending on the ambient environment and how often the DVD camcorder is used. If the usable time of DVD camcorder with a fully charged battery is noticeably short, the battery is probably dead: Purchase a new battery.

Disposing of the dead battery:

Dispose of battery safety in accordance with local laws. Do not dispose of in fire.

Using charge marker:
