Recharging NiMH Batteries

NiMH batteries can be recharged in the camera when the camera is connected to an optional HP AC power adapter or HP Photosmart M-series dock. NiMH batteries can also be recharged with the optional HP Photosmart battery quick recharger. For information about these optional accessories, see Appendix B, Purchasing Camera Accessories, starting on page159.

The following table shows the average time it takes to recharge NiMH batteries that have been fully discharged, depending on where the batteries are being charged. The table also notes the signal you will see when the batteries have been recharged.
