CHARGING THE BATTERY

The Leica S is powered by a lithium ion battery (A).
Important:
Batteries from the earlier Leica S models (Order No.14 429) cannot be
used either in the Leica S (Typ 007) or in the multifunction hand grip.
Please use only the Leica battery S BP-PRO1 (Order No. 16 039).
Caution:
• Only the battery type specified and described in this manual, or battery
types specified and described by Leica Camera AG, may be used in
this camera.
• These batteries may only be used in the units for which they are
designed and may only be charged exactly as described below.
• Using this battery contrary to the instructions and using non-specified
battery types can result in an explosion under certain circumstances!
• The batteries must not be exposed to sunlight or heat for prolonged
periods, or to humidity or moisture. Likewise, the batteries must not be
placed in a microwave oven or a high pressure container as this results
in a risk of fire or explosion!

• Damp or wet batteries must not be charged or used in the camera
under any circumstances!
• Always ensure that the battery contacts are clean and freely accessi-
ble. Whilst lithium ion batteries are proofed against short-circuit, they
should still be protected against contact with metal objects such as
paper clips or jewelry. A short-circuited battery can get very hot and
cause severe burns.
• If a battery is dropped, check the casing and the contacts immediately
for any damage. Using a damaged battery can damage the camera.
• In case of noise, discoloration, deformation, overheating or leaking
fluid, the battery must be removed from the camera or charger imme-
diately and replaced. Continued use of the battery results in a risk of
overheating, which can cause fire and/or explosion!
• In case of leaking fluid or a smell of burning, keep the battery away
from sources of heat. Leaked fluid can catch fire!

• Only the charger specified and described in these instructions, or
other chargers specified and described by Leica Camera AG, may be
used. The use of other chargers not approved by Leica Camera AG can
cause damage to the batteries and, in extreme cases, can cause
serious or life-threatening injuries.
• The charger supplied should be used exclusively for charging this
battery type. Do not attempt to use it for other purposes.
• Ensure that the power socket used is freely accessible.
• The car charging cable supplied must never be connected while the
charger is connected to the mains.
• Battery and charger must not be opened. Repairs may only be carried
out by authorized service centers.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Batteries can cause suffo-
cation if swallowed.
First aid:
• If battery fluid comes into contact with the eyes, there is a risk of
blinding! Rinse the eyes immediately with clear water. Do not rub the
eyes!
• Obtain medical assistance immediately.
• If leaked fluid gets onto the skin or clothing, there is a risk of injury.
Wash the areas concerned with clear water. Obtain medical assis-
tance.
