Panasonic LUMIX DMW-FL360 - Manual (Page 14)

Nickel metal hydride batteries have
a specific service life. As they are
increasingly used or as time goes
by, their capacity will diminish
gradually. When the length of time
during which the unit can be used
has dropped drastically, the
batteries may have reached the
end of their service life. Obtain
fresh batteries.
® The length of the service life of
batteries differs depending on
their storage method, operating
conditions and the environment
in which they are used.
■ When the unit is not going to
be used for a prolonged
period
® If the batteries are left inside the
unit, a faint current will flow
continuously, even when the
unit’s power is off, gradually
discharging the batteries. If they
are left like this, they may
overdischarge and may become
unusable even when recharged.
® When storing the batteries for a
prolonged period, it is
recommended that they be
charged once a year and that
after their remaining charge has
been used up, they be removed
from the unit and stored again.
