Extend Your Camcorder Battery Life
If you follow a simple set of rules with your camcorder battery,
you can extend its life span quite dramatically, and ensure you
get the maximum time each use. The following steps all assist in
doing this:
-
Storage
Many types of batteries discharge during any extended storage
period and this will also result in a lack of performance. It
is advisable to give your camcorder battery a workout every
few weeks to extend its life. Should you not exercise your
camcorder battery for a long period, you should follow the
procedure for breaking in your batteries again.
-
Break in New Batteries
When you first buy a camcorder or a new battery, you need to
break in the battery. This is done by fully charging, then
fully discharging, the battery a number of times. A good tip
is to always leave the battery in the charger overnight before
its first use.
-
Always completely discharge every few weeks
If you camcorder battery is always charged when there is a
small amount of charge left, the battery will "forget" that it
can use all of the space available to it. This will result in
far shorter usage times of the battery. To prevent this,
ensure you give your battery a complete discharge and recharge
every few weeks.
-
Keep them clean
It is a good idea to keep your batteries clean at all times.
If the battery contacts become dirty, you can clean them with
a cotton bud and alcohol. Be sure to blow off all dirt/sand
particles first to avoid scratching.
