Battery pack

On charging the battery pack

• We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C (50°F to

86°F). The battery pack may not be fully charged in temperatures outside this range.

Effective use of the battery pack

• Battery performance decreases in low temperature surroundings. So in cold places, the operational time

of the battery pack is shorter.

• The battery pack will run out quickly if you use the flash or zoom frequently.
• We recommend having spare battery packs handy for two or three times the expected shooting time, and

making trial shots before taking the actual shots.

• Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water-resistant.
• Do not leave the battery pack in extremely hot places, such as in a car or under direct sunlight.
• When the battery pack terminals become dirty, the camera may not turn on, the battery pack may not

charge, or other symptoms may occur. In these cases, gently wipe away any dirt with a soft cloth.

How to store the battery pack

• Fully discharge the battery pack before storing and store it in a cool, dry place. To maintain the battery

pack’s function, fully charge the battery pack and then fully discharge it on the camera at least once a
year while storing.

• To use the battery pack up, leave the camera in slideshow (page 71) playback mode until the power goes

off.

• To keep clean battery pack terminal and prevent short-circuiting, place the battery pack in a plastic bag,

etc. when carrying and storing to isolate it from other metal objects, etc.

On battery life

• The battery life is limited. Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If decreased

usage time between charges becomes significant, it is probably time to replace it with a new one.

• The battery life varies according to how it is stored and the operating conditions and environment in

which each battery pack is used.

Compatible battery pack

• The NP-BN1 battery pack (supplied) can be used only in N type compatible Cyber-shot models.
