Precautions to be observed when charging the batteries

Do not charge any other batteries except Sony Nickel Metal Hydride batteries in the charger supplied with your camera. If you try to charge any other type of battery (e.g., manganese batteries, alkaline dry cells, or primary lithium batteries) than the batteries specified, those batteries may leak, overheat, or explode, causing the danger of burns or other injuries.

Be sure to charge both Nickel Metal Hydride batteries at the same time.

When the batteries are charged, use them only in an environment where the temperature range is 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F). Efficient charging may not be possible outside this range.

Do not charge fully charged Nickel Metal Hydride batteries again. Otherwise, there is a danger of leaks, explosions, excessive heat, fire, or electric shock.

Do not peel off the external seals or damage the batteries. Never use batteries from which the seals have been partially or completely removed, or batteries that have been split in any way.

This represents the time required to charge fully depleted Nickel Metal Hydride batteries using the supplied BC-CS1 charger in an environment where the ambient temperature is 25°C (77°F).

It takes about 13 hours to completely charge the batteries. The CHARGE lamp may remain lit longer than 13 hours, but this is not a malfunction.

Do not remove the batteries while charging is still in progress. If the power supply is interrupted by a power failure or other reason either during charging or after charging has finished, charging starts over and the batteries are charged again for approximately 13 hours.

If you use the ACC-UNQ STAMINA “Super Quick charge” kit (not supplied), the batteries will charge faster.
