Using AC PowerThe Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large

 

 

power capacity. However, when one is exposed to

 

 

cold temperatures (below 10°C/50°F), its usage time

 

 

becomes shorter and it may cease to function. If this

 

 

happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or

 

 

other warm, protected place for a short time, then

 

 

re-attach it to the camcorder. As long as the battery

 

 

pack itself is not cold, it should not affect

 

 

performance.

(If you’re using a heating pad, make sure the battery

 

pack does not come in direct contact with it.)
