Powering Your Camcorder

Proper Care and Storage of Your Battery

The battery will provide better service and longer performance if you refresh it before charging and store it at normal room temperature.

Do not operate the battery at temperatures below 14°F (–10°C) or above 95°F (35°C). The battery may be damaged if operated at temperatures above 122°F (50°C). Operation time will decrease at extremely low temperatures.

After repeated chargings and use, the operation time will gradually decrease. When operation time becomes too short to be useful, it is time to replace the battery.

Charge the battery at a temperature of 32°F-95°F (0°C-35°C) to prevent damage.
