Have to buy your favorite camera for consumers, facing the top big thing is the digital camera charging problem. After all, the battery life and power is what everyone wanted. I believe many consumers are on the “first three charging more than 12 hours to be full of” memories, then this statement really correct?
First we look at the course of development in recent years the battery. The cost of high to low battery is lithium-ion batteries, nickel metal hydride batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries. Nickel-metal hydride and nickel cadmium batteries each section is 1.2V, lithium-ion vgp-bps13a/b battery is about 3.7V per session. Nickel-metal hydride and nickel cadmium rechargeable performance, as is the nickel-cadmium nickel-metal hydride generation product, and environmental protection, free of heavy metals cadmium.
The original digital devices (including mobile phones, camera batteries) are used in nickel metal hydride (cadmium) batteries, the battery low cost, easy to use, but the disadvantage will produce a small amount of memory effect. The subsequent introduction of the lithium-ion battery is completely overcome this shortcoming, there is no memory effect of the charging process to make it more casual and longer life.
We can determine the “first three charging more than 12 hours to be full of” words on a few years ago it was completely correct, because the nickel-metal hydride (cadmium) batteries have a memory effect, the first three to have it’s “stomach” to hang on until the maximum and let the CANON NB-4L Battery about their maximum saturation, in order to achieve the effect of prolonged use. And now commonly used lithium-ion battery, no memory effect itself, so no need to charge more for several hours, not only a waste of electricity, but also the life of the battery itself has a great impact. Suggest that consumers first depends on the charger, rechargeable battery and camera manual to operate. A significant portion of consumers are too lazy to go to manual this one particular charge, which resulted in the wrong method of operation.
Below we explain in detail the right lithium-ion battery charge and discharge method:
When the lithium OLYMPUS li-40b batteries do not hold after a period of time, then go to sleep, then gradually become shorter with time. However, lithium batteries activated very simple, requiring only 3-6 times the normal charge-discharge cycles the battery can be activated to restore normal capacity. On the charging time, we recommend that you follow the instructions on the product manual to operate. Li-ion battery in the battery will automatically stop after full charge, there is no electricity nickel charger for the last many hours of “trickle” charge, for a long time while charging the battery charge and discharge protection circuit for long-term hovering at the edge of danger, the battery The reduction will cause great life.
Charge so that the discharge it? The same can not be over-discharge operation. Nickel batteries are also over-discharge method handed down, was to reduce the memory effect, but that some lithium-ion NIKON EN-EL1 battery is damaged. Has led to some people because of excessive discharge of lithium-ion battery voltage is too low, resulting in return to customer service can not boot. Because the design of special lithium battery, nickel battery is easier than damage. Often charge a long time at night we had to operate, but generally at night than during the day higher voltage, lithium-ion batteries on the delicate is also a potential danger.
As at the end, we again emphasize the proper use of lithium-ion batteries methods:
① battery if not a long time, please charge 70% Store in a dry, cool place. Ni-MH battery 3 months or so and then enough to recharge the batteries; lithium rechargeable battery 6 a month or so;
② standard time according to the instructions and procedures for charging, even if the first three should do so, under normal circumstances the card machine lithium Sony VGP-BPS3 battery can be filled in between 2-5 hours;
③ When the device prompts appeared low power consumption, they should start charging as much as possible in a timely manner, do not over-discharge;
④ lithium batteries do not need to activate the special method, in normal use lithium batteries will naturally activated.
Finally, I hope in the use of digital cameras and other digital devices can be more time efficient, safe to play the vgp-bps13a/b Battery potential.
