About NiCad Batteries

NiCad batteries can be used and recharged over and over again. Using NiCad batteries rather than disposable ones is an environmentally friendly way to power your DC40 camera.

When buying a charger for NiCad batteries, look for one that completely discharges the batteries before recharging them. ™Conditioning the batteries in this way helps them hold their charge longer.

If your battery charger does not condition batteries, the batteries eventually may not hold their charge for as long as they used to. If this happens, try letting the batteries run out of charge completely before recharging them. Unless the batteries are wearing out, this step should improve their lasting power.

WARNING: Damaged batteries may leak and burn skin and eyes. If you come in contact with a damaged NiCad battery, rinse the affected skin with water for at least five minutes. Do not wash with soap.

Never charge batteries other than NiCads in the charger.

Follow the safety and battery charging instructions that come with your battery charger.
