• You are recommended to use it in the camera until it is
depleted and to store it in an indoor location with low
relative humidity and between the temperatures of 0 - 30 °C
(32 - 86 °F).
Storing a fully charged battery for long periods of time (about one
year) may shorten its life cycle or affect its performance, tf you do
not use the battery for long periods of time, charge it fully and
discharge it inthe camera about once a year before returning it
to storage.
• Since this is a lithium-ion battery, you need not discharge it
before recharging.
• It takes approximately 2 hours 5 minutes to fully charge the
battery from a depleted state (based on Canon's testing
standards).
• Charging itwithin a temperature range of 5 - 40 °C (41 - 104
°F) is recommended.
• Charge times may vary according to the ambient temperature
and the battery's charge state.
• You are advised to charge the battery on the day of use, or
one day before, to ensure a full charge.
Even charged batteries continue to discharge naturally.
• If the performance of the battery diminishes substantially
even when it is fully charged, its life has been exceeded and
it should be replaced.
