Using the battery and charger effectively
Charge the battery on the day, or the day before, it will be used. Charged
batteries continue to discharge naturally even if they are not used.
Attach the cover to a charged battery
so that the ,& mark is visible.
How to store the battery for long periods:
Deplete and remove the battery from the camera. Attach the terminal cover
and store the battery. Storing a battery for long periods of time (about a
year) without depleting it may shorten its life span or affect its performance.
The battery charger can also be used when abroad.
The charger can be used in regions that have 100 - 240 V (50/6g Hz)
AC power. If the plug does not fit the outlet, use a commercially
available plug adapter. Do not use electrical transformers for foreign
travel as they will cause damage.
The battery may develop a bulge.
This is a normal characteristic of the battery and does not indicate a
problem. However, if the battery bulges to the point where it will no longer
fit into the camera, please contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
If the battery is quickly depleted even after charging, it has reached the
end of its life span.
Purchase a new battery.
