    Charging the Battery Remove the protective cover. Fully insert the battery into the charger. Do the opposite to remove the battery.
  • Page 27 Recharge the battery. For LC-E6 As shown by the arrow, flip out the battery charger's prongs and insert the prongs into a power outlet. For LC-E6E Connect the power cord to the charger and insert the plug into a power outlet.
  • Page 28 For safety, charging in low temperatures (5–10°C/41–50°F) takes longer (up to approx. 4 hr.). The Speedlite does not come pre-charged. Charge before use. Charge on the day of use, or the day before. Batteries gradually lose their charge while in storage. After charging the battery, remove it and unplug the charger.
  • Page 29 Note Battery storage Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Even if the battery is removed, the trace amount of current that continues to flow internally may eventually lead to over-discharge and prevent further use despite charging. Before extended storage, charge the battery to approx. 50% about once a year.
