zDo not allow any metal objects
such as key rings to touch the
and terminals (Fig. A),
as this can damage the battery
pack. To carry the battery pack
or store it during periods of
disuse, always replace the
terminal cover (Fig. B).
zEven charged battery packs
continue to discharge naturally.
You are advised to charge the
battery on the day of use, or one
day before, to ensure a full
charge.
zSince storing a fully charged battery pack for long periods of time (about
one year) may shorten its life cycle or affect its performance, you are
recommended to use it in the camera until it is completely discharged and
to store it in an indoor location with low relative humidity and between the
temperatures of 0 to 30 °C (32 to 86 °F). If you do not use the battery pack
for long periods of time, charge it fully and discharge it fully in the camera
about once a year before returning it to storage.
zIf the performance of the battery pack diminishes substantially even when it
is fully charged, its life has been exceeded and it should be replaced.
