It takes approx. 2 hr. and 30 min. to fully recharge a completely exhausted battery at room temperature (23°C / 73°F).

The time required to recharge the battery will vary greatly depending on the ambient temperature and the battery’s remaining capacity.



For safety reasons, recharging in low temperatures (5°C - 10°C /

41°F - 50°F) will take longer (up to approx. 4 hr.).

Tips for Using the Battery and Charger



Upon purchase, the battery is not fully charged.

Charge the battery before use.



Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be used.

Even during storage, a charged battery will gradually drain and lose its capacity.



After recharging the battery, detach it and disconnect the charger from the power outlet.



You can attach the cover in a different orientation to indicate whether the battery has been recharged or not.

If the battery has been recharged, attach the cover so that the battery-shaped hole < > is aligned over the blue sticker on the battery. If the battery is exhausted, attach the cover in the opposite orientation.



When not using the camera, remove the battery.

If the battery is left in the camera for a prolonged period, a small amount of power current is released, resulting in excess discharge and shorter battery life. Store the battery with the protective cover attached. Storing the battery when it is fully charged may lower the battery’s performance.



The battery charger can also be used in foreign countries.

The battery charger is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/60 Hz power source. If necessary, attach a commercially-available plug adapter for the respective country or region. Do not attach any portable voltage transformer to the battery charger. Doing so can damage the battery charger.



If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after being fully charged, the battery has reached the end of its service life.

Check the battery’s recharge performance (p.446) and purchase a new battery.



After disconnecting the charger’s power plug, do not touch the prongs for approx. 10 sec.



If the battery’s remaining capacity (p.446) is 94% or higher, the battery

will not be recharged.



The charger cannot charge any battery other than Battery Pack LP-E6N/LP-E6.
