NiMH batteries discharge when not in use, whether they
are installed in a camera or not. If they have not been
used for more than two weeks, recharge them before
using them again. Even if you are not using your
batteries, it is a good idea to charge them every six
months to a year to prolong their useful life.
The performance of all rechargeable batteries, including
NiMH, will degrade over time, especially if they are
stored and used at high temperatures. If battery life has
become unacceptably reduced over time, replace the
batteries.
The quick recharger may be warm while operating and
charging NiMH batteries. This is normal.
NiMH batteries can be left in the quick recharger for any
period of time without harm to the batteries. Always store
charged batteries in a cool location.
