Charging the battery

The LEICA S2 is supplied with the required power by a lithium
ion battery (A).
Attention:
• Only the battery type specified and described in this manual, and/
or battery types specified and described by Leica Camera AG,
may be used in this camera.
• This battery may only be used in the units for which it is de -
signed and may only be charged exactly as described below.
• Using this battery contrary to the instructions and using non-
specified battery types can under certain circumstances
result in an explosion.
• The batteries may not be exposed to sunlight, heat, humidity
or moisture for long periods. Likewise, the battery may not be
placed in a microwave oven or a high- pressure container to
prevent a risk of fire or explosion.
• Never throw batteries into a fire as this can cause them to
explode!
• Humid or wet batteries may not be charged or used in the
camera under any circumstances.
• Always ensure that the battery contacts are clean and freely
accessible. Whilst lithium ion batteries are proof against
short circuits, they should still be protected against contact
with metal objects such as paper clips or jewelry. A short-cir-
cuited 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 of
leaking fluid, the battery must be removed from the camera
or charger immediately and replaced. Continued use of the
battery carries a risk of overheating, resulting in 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 this manual, 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, to 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 mains outlet used is freely accessible.
• The battery and charger may not be opened. Repairs may
only be carried out by authorized workshops.
• Ensure that children cannot access the batteries. Swallowing
batteries can cause asphyxiation.
