Using Rechargeable Nimh Batteries; Charging Batteries - Epson PhotoPC 700 User Manual

Using Rechargeable NiMH Batteries

To help lower the cost of ownership, your PhotoPC 700
comes with four rechargeable NiMH batteries and a pocket-
size charger. These batteries can be recharged hundreds of
times. Before you install them in your camera for the first
time, you need to charge them completely three times. The
instructions in the following sections tell you how to charge,
install, and handle batteries.
NOTE
New batteries need to be fully charged three times before you
use them. This process takes approximately five or six hours—
but you only need to do it once. Subsequent charges take
approximately two and a half hours.

Charging Batteries

It's important to make sure your batteries are fully charged,
so they will last as long as possible before they need
recharging.
