Capacity
The chart below allows you to compare the Digital Camera Battery to the battery in the product you
are using. If the capacity is twice the capacity of you products battery it will run twice as long. This
chart is for the DCB30WB, the 60, 90, and 120 watt models have 2, 3 and 4 times the capacity
respectively. If this chart means nothing to you, plug the Digital Camera Battery in and be glad that it
runs a long time.
Multiply your (camera battery’s Voltage) x (it’s AH rating) to get the Watt capacity.
Sample: 7.2V x 1.3AH = 9.36 Watts (The 30 Watt D.C.B. would last over 3 times longer.)
When the Digital Camera Battery is powering a camera and flash at the same time several factors will
contribute to the number of exposures you will get from a single charge. Here is a list of the most
common factors you will encounter (some you can control) :
• Limit the LCD usage, this uses almost as much power as taking a picture.
• If the camera has a battery saver mode, try to enable even when external power connected.
• Both cameras and flash units consume power just being on, turn them off during extended standby.
• Some cables use power even when the connected device is off, turn off the DCB when not in use.
• High f-stop’s or long distance shots use more flash power than close-up’s or low f-stop exposures.
• Image stabilized lenses consume power, regardless of the number of exposures taken.
• Keep the DCB from extreme temperatures. (Under coat in cold weather, out of direct sun in heat.)
• Charge the DCB prior to using and do not leave on charge for extended periods.
• Remove DCB from any case or holder during charge, heat buildup will prevent proper charging.
