Battery Tips

Are you always running out of battery power just before you take that perfect picture with your digital camera?

1) Turn off your digital camera when not in use.

2) Many digital cameras have a regular viewfinder and an LCD viewfinder. While the digital LCD viewfinder has its benefits, it can drain battery power.

3) Don't stop after taking every photo and look at the picture in your digital camera's playback mode.

Taking care of you new battery pack. Normally, a new battery pack comes in a very low charge condition and must be fully charged before use. Refer to the user manual of your portable electronic equipment for charging instructions. Your equipment may report a fully charge condition in as short as 10 to 15 minutes when the new battery pack is being charged for the first time. "Conditioning" (fully discharging and then fully charging) is necessary so as to maintain the optimum performance of a battery pack, and is recommended at least once a month particularly for Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries. Failure to do so could result in reduced charge capacity and can significantly shorten the battery packs useful life. Lithium Ion batteries do not require conditioning. It is normal for a battery pack to get warm when charging and during use.

Rechargeable batteries undergo self-discharging when left unused for long periods of time. For best results, always store a battery pack fully charged. The amount of runtime a battery pack produces depends on the power requirements of components in your electronic equipment. Don't let under-charged batteries keep you from taking great photos. If you infrequently use your digital camera, you may think that you after you use your digital camera, recharge your NiMH batteries, wait a few weeks or months, then use your digital camera again, that your batteries will be charged and you'll be ready to snap photos, right?

Rechargeable batteries don't stay charged forever. If you charge your batteries and frequently use your digital camera, you will probably never notice this loss of power.
