Charging Batteries - Sony MPS-VS500 Bedienungsanleitung

Charging batteries

To use the battery pack
immediately
You can use the battery pack even
before it is fully charged. However,
the shorter the charging time, the
shorter the life of the battery pack.
Notes on charging
• When you use the battery pack for
the first time or after a long period
of disuse, the battery life may be
diminished. The battery life will
be restored by charging and
discharging it several times.
• Remove the battery pack when
charging is completed.
• The remaining capacity indicator
on the NP-F530/F730 does not
function with this unit.
Battery charging tips
• A rechargeable battery does
not need to be discharged before
recharging. You can recharge a
half-charged battery. However,
a rechargeable battery
discharges little by little even
while it is not in use. We
recommend that you charge it
before every use.
• Keep a few spare battery packs. To
avoid a power shortage, prepare a
few extra rechargeable battery
packs, model NP-520/F530/720/
F730.
• For a longer battery life, we
recommend storing the battery
pack in a cool place and charging
it under temperatures ranging
from 10 - 30°C (50 - 86°F).
• When the battery pack is not to be
used for a long period of time,
remove the battery pack from the
unit.
