Recharging Nimh Batteries - HP PHOTOSMART E327 User Manual

Recharging NiMH batteries

NiMH batteries can be recharged with the optional
HP Photosmart battery quick recharger. For information
about this optional accessory, see Appendix B, Purchasing
camera accessories, starting on page113.
The following table shows the average time it takes to
recharge NiMH batteries that have been fully discharged
when the batteries are being charged in the HP quick
recharger. The table also notes the signal you will see when
the batteries have been recharged.
Average charge time
1 hour for 2 batteries.
About 2 hours for 4 batteries
Some things to keep in mind when using NiMH batteries are
as follows:
• The first time that you use a set of NiMH batteries, be sure
that you fully charge them before using them in the
camera.
• You may notice that the first several times you use NiMH
batteries, the battery life seems shorter than what you
expect. Performance will improve and become optimal
after the batteries have been charged and then
discharged (used) completely four or five times. You can
use the camera normally to discharge the batteries during
this conditioning period.
• Always recharge both NiMH batteries at the same time.
One low-charged battery will reduce the battery life for
the other battery in the camera.
