• The chart specifies the approximate times in
minutes.
Notes:
• Charge the battery pack between 10 C and
30 C. The battery pack may not charge
properly at temperatures too low or too high.
• The battery pack and charger become warm
during charging. This is not a malfunction.
• Using the zoom (see page 24) and other
functions or turning the power on and off
frequently will increase power consumption.
This may result in a decrease of more than
50% in the actual recording time compared to
the maximum continuous recording time
listed above.
• The charging time and recording time may
vary depending on the ambient temperature
and the condition of the battery pack.
• Even when the battery pack is not used, the
capacity of the battery pack will naturally
deteriorate over time. To limit deterioration of the
battery pack capacity, perform the procedure in
"Extending battery pack life" on page 94 at least
once every six months.
• See page 93 for more information on using the
battery pack.
Caution:
• Charge only SHARP model BT-L221, BT-LS222,
BT-L441, or BT-LS442A battery packs. Other
types of battery packs may burst, causing
personal injury and damage.
