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).
