Battery Performance; Cold-Weather Operation - Minolta Dynax 7xi Instruction Manual

B a t t e r y P e r f o r m a n c e
The 6-volt 2CR5 l i t h i u m battery s h o u l d provide sufficient power for
shooting approximately 50 rolls of 24-exposure film w i t h o u t flash. These
figures are based on Minolta's standard test m e t h o d using a fresh battery
at 68°F (20°C). Actual battery performance will depend on how you use the
camera. If you install a new battery that has been in prolonged storage,
battery performance may vary.

L i t h i u m b a t t e r i e s p r o v i d e e x c e l l e n t p e r f o r m a n c e i n cold weather.
However, if you plan to shoot many rolls of f i l m outdoors at temperatures
near or below 32° F (0°C), we r e c o m m e n d that you carry the camera inside
your coat while you are not shooting, to keep it w a r m . You may also w a n t
to carry a spare battery in your pocket so that you can change the camera
battery if necessary. Do not discard a cold battery. After it w a r m s up, it will
regain s o m e of its charge.
