Charging the Battery
Upon purchase, the battery is not fully charged.
Charge the battery before use.
Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be used.
Even during storage, a charged battery will gradually drain and lose its
capacity.
After recharging the battery, detach it and disconnect the charger
from the power outlet.
When not using the camera, remove the battery.
If the battery is left in the camera for a prolonged period, a small amount of
power current is released, resulting in excess discharge and shorter
battery life. Store the battery with the protective cover (provided) attached.
Storing the battery when it is fully charged may lower the battery’s
performance.
The battery charger can also be used in foreign countries.
The battery charger is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/60 Hz
household power outlet. If necessary, attach a commercially-available plug
adapter for the respective country or region. Do not attach any portable
voltage transformer to the battery charger. Doing so can damage the
battery charger.
If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after being fully
charged, the battery has reached the end of its service life.
Purchase a new battery.
Tips for Using the Battery and Charger
After disconnecting the charger’s power plug, do not touch the prongs for at
least 3 sec.
Do not charge any battery other than a Battery Pack LP-E12.
Battery Pack LP-E12 is dedicated to Canon products only. Using it with an
incompatible battery charger or product may result in malfunction or accidents
for which Canon cannot be held liable.
