Charging the Battery Tips for Using the Battery and Charger 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 power. After recharging the battery, detach it and detach 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 after it is fully charged can 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.268) and purchase a new battery. After disconnecting the charger's power plug, do not touch the prongs for at least 3 sec. If the battery's remaining capacity (p.268) is 94% or higher, the battery will not be recharged. The charger cannot charge any battery other than the Battery Pack LP-E6. 25
