Using the Battery Pack

❑ Battery life is shorter in a cold environment. This is due to decreased battery efficiency at low temperatures.

❑ Charge battery packs at temperatures between 50°F to 86°F (10°C to 30°C). Lower temperatures require longer charging

time.

❑ Do not charge the battery pack in any way other than as described in this user guide or as designated by Sony in writing.

❑ While the battery pack is in use or being charged, heat builds up in the battery pack. This is normal and is not cause for

concern.

❑ You do not need to discharge the battery pack before recharging.

❑ If the battery pack quickly runs out of power after being fully charged, it may be reaching the end of its life and should be

replaced.
