Battery Packs
The supplied battery pack is a
lithium-ion battery. Before
using the supplied battery
pack or an optional battery
pack, be sure to read the
following cautions:
● To avoid hazards
...do not burn.
...do not short-circuit the
terminals. When transporting, make sure the provided
battery cap is attached to the battery. If the battery cap is
misplaced, carry the battery in a plastic bag.
...do not modify or disassemble.
...do not expose the battery to temperatures exceeding 60°C,
as this may cause the battery to overheat, explode or catch
fire.
...use only specified chargers.
● To prevent damage and prolong service life
...do not subject to unnecessary shock.
...charge in an environment where temperatures are within the
tolerances shown in the chart below. This is a chemical
reaction type battery — cooler temperatures impede
chemical reaction, while warmer temperatures can prevent
complete charging.
...store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure to high
temperatures will increase natural discharge and shorten
service life.
...fully charge and then fully discharge the battery every 6
months when storing the battery pack over a long period time.
...remove from charger or powered unit when not in use, as
some machines use current even when switched off.
NOTES:
● It is recommended that only genuine JVC batteries are used
in this camera. Using generic non-JVC batteries can cause
damage to the internal charging circuitry.
● It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after charging, or
after use.
Temperature range specifications
Charging: 10°C to 35°C
Operation: 0°C to 40°C
Storage: –20°C to 50°C
● The lower the temperature, the longer recharging takes.
● Charging times are for a fully discharged battery pack.
