Battery Performance; Cold-Weather Operation - Minolta MAXXUM 3xi Instruction Manual

(Battery)
Battery Performance
The 6-volt 2CR5 lithium battery should provide sufficient power for shooting
up to 60 rolls of 24-exposure film without flash. These figures are based on
Minolta's standard test method using a fresh battery at 68°F (20°C). Actual
performance will depend on how you use the camera. If you install a new
battery that has been in prolonged storage, the camera's performance may
vary.
Cold-Weather
Operation
Lithium batteries perform well in cold weather. However, if you plan to shoot
many roils of film outdoors at temperatures near or below 32°F {0°C), we
recommend that you carry the camera inside your coat to keep it warm while
you are not shooting. You may also want to carry a spare battery in your
pocket so that you can change the camera battery if necessary. Do not discard
a cold battery. After it warms up, it will regain some of its charge.
