(Normal charge)

*Recording and playback time with Normal charge is approximately 90% of Full charge.

•The CHARGE lamps light up from the left.

•The battery level will be displayed in three levels on the CHARGE lamps of the Cyber- shot Station while charging the battery pack. When charging is completed (Full charge), the CHARGE lamps go off.

After the battery pack is completely used, the full-charge time of the battery pack is approximately 230 minutes with the DSC- N1, and 160 minutes with the DSC-T9 and the DSC-T5 at the temperature of +25 °C (+77 °F). It may take longer to charge, depending on the charging condition and environment.

–When the camera is turned on, the Cyber- shot Station stops charging the battery.

•It may take a few seconds to indicate an accurate battery level.

•In case of the CHARGE lamps fail to light or blink, refer to “Troubleshooting”.

Charging temperature

The temperature range for charging is 0 °C to +40 °C (+32 °F to +104 °F). However, to provide maximum battery efficiency, the recommended temperature range when charging is +10 °C to +30 °C (+50 °F to +86 °F).

On battery life

•The battery life is limited. Battery capacity decreases little by little as you use it more and more, and as time passes. If the battery operating time seems shortened considerably, a probable cause is that the battery pack has reached the end of its life. Buy a new battery pack.

•The battery life varies according to how it is stored and the operating conditions and environment in which each battery pack is used.
