About the InfoLithium battery
This is a lithium-ion battery, which for supporting
devices notifies its charge state electronically.
The L-series InfoLithium battery are identified by a
mark.
Note
The DSR-DU1 can be used with an InfoLithium battery,
but does not support the communications function for
charging state.
Battery remaining time indication in the AC
adaptor/charger display panel
This indication is provided by data communications
between the AC adaptor and the InfoLithium battery.
Please note that the DSR-DU1 does not have a data
communications capability, so there may be a
discrepancy between the actual battery remaining time
and the indication.
Battery charge state indication
The LCD panel shows an approximate remaining time
for continuous shooting. This may not be an accurate
prediction, depending on the pattern of use.
If the battery indication shows adequate remaining time,
but the power fails immediately, charge the battery to its
fully-charged state. This will correct the indication.
Charging time
Charging times for a completely exhausted battery are as
follows.
Battery Time for full charge (Time for normal
charge)
NP-F750 Approx. 170 minutes (110 minutes)
NP-F960 Approx. 245 minutes (185 minutes)
Operating times for continuous recording
Operating times for continuous recording using an NP-
F960 or NP-F750 InfoLithium battery are as follows.
Battery Operating time from full charge (normal
charge)
NP-F750 Approx. 180 minutes (160 minutes)
NP-F960 Approx. 360 minutes (320 minutes)
