Charging the Battery
• The time required to fully charge the battery is about 100 minutes
(max.). The appropriate ambient temperature for charging the
battery is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). (The charging time may vary
depending on the ambient temperature and charging conditions.)
• The battery has reached the end of its service life when it starts to
run down soon after being charged. Replace with a new battery.
• Do not use the battery charger to charge batteries other than the
rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-LI8, as the charger may
overheat or be damaged.
• If the battery is inserted correctly but the charging indicator fails to
light, the battery may be faulty. Replace with a new battery.
