• Insert the battery pack all the way into the battery charger as shown and
insert the charger's plug into a power outlet.
• Align the battery pack correctly with the arrows on it and the charger.
• The charge indicator will light red while the battery pack is charging. It
will change to green when the charge is complete.
• After charging, unplug the battery charger and remove the battery pack.
• To protect the battery pack and prolong its life, do not charge
it for longer than 24 hours continuously.
• Since this is a lithium ion battery pack, you need not completely
discharge it before recharging. It can be recharged at any point.
• It takes approximately 130 minutes to fully charge the battery
pack from a fully discharged state (based on Canon's testing
standard). Please charge it at an ambient temperature ranging
between 5º and 40º C (41º and 104º F).
• Charge times may vary according to the ambient temperature
and the battery pack's charge state.
• See Battery Capacity (p. 139).
• You may hear a noise during charging. This is not a malfunction.
