Recharging the Battery Refreshing the Battery If the Ni-MH battery is repeatedly recharged before it has discharged completely, the capacity degrades due to the memory effect. To eliminate this memory effect, follow the procedure below. 1 Connect the battery. 2 Hold down the button until the orange lamp lights. XThe battery will begin to discharge. The discharge time will vary depending on the remaining capacity. Discharging a fully-charged battery will take about 8.5 hours. When the discharge is completed, charging will start automatically. To interrupt the discharge, press the button until the red lamp lights. When two batteries are connected, the battery which was connected first will be charged first. After the first battery is fully charged, the other battery will start charging automatically. The battery waiting to be charged will have the lamp blinking slowly (every other second). And when two batteries are to be discharged, the battery waiting to be discharged will have the lamp blinking slowly. Also, with two batteries connected, one can be charging while the other is discharging. If you only want to discharge the battery, you need not connect the power cord to a power outlet. Press the button. When the discharge is completed, the lamp will turn off. The NC-E2 is compatible with 100-240 V AC. It can also be used with a commercially-available AC plug compatible with the respective country's power outlet. Whenever the battery is out of the camera, be sure to attach the protective cover to prevent a short circuit. The Ni-MH battery discharges naturally even while it is not used. You should charge the battery at least once every 6 months. The NP-E3 is dedicated to the EOS-1D series camera. It cannot be used with Power Drive Booster PB-E2. 23
