Canon Digital Camera Battery Articles & Tips

A new Canon digital camera battery come in a discharged condition and must charged before use (see the devices manual for charging instructions). On initial application (Or after a prolonged storage period) the digital camcorder CANON BP-512 may require 03:57 charge / discharge cycles before achieving maximum capacity. New Canon BP-512 must be fully charged and discharged (cycled) a few times before it can condition to full capacity. Rechargeable batteries undergo self-discharging when unused. Always store a Camcorder Battery in a fully charged staged for storage.When charge Canon BP-512 for the first time the device may indicate that charging is complete after just 10 or 15 minutes. This is a normal phenomenon with rechargeable batteries. Remove the camcorder batteries from the device, reinsert it and repeat the charging procedure

It is important to condition (fully discharge and then charge) Canon BP-512 every two to three weeks. Failure to do so may significantly shorten the battery life (this does not apply to Li-ion batteries which do not require conditioning). To perform, simply run the device under battery power until it shuts down or until you get a low battery warning. Then recharge the battery as described in the user manual. If the battery will not be in use for a month or longer, it is recommended that Canon BP-512 removed from the device and stored in a cool, dry and clean place.

Invest in a good charger for your camcorder. Ni-MH batteries should not be charged in a NiCad charger, unless the charger is specifically made for both chemistries. There are cheap chargers and there are expensive chargers. Make sure the charger you get has good reviews and is well made. Chargers with micro-controller chips are usually the best choice for your digital camcorder.

Be sure to save your Digital Camera Battery properly. Do not leave your batteries in a hot car, or in humid conditions. The best storage conditions are a cool, dry place. The refrigerator is fine if you stick in a packet of silica gel with your Canon BP-512 in a sealed bag to keep them dry. It's a good idea to charge your NiCad or Ni-MH batteries fully before use if they have been stocked.
