Solution

1 Remove the protective cover.
2 Attach the battery.
  • As shown in the illustration, attach the battery securely.
  • To detach the battery, follow the above procedure in reverse.
3 Recharge the battery. For LC-E8
  • As shown by the arrow, flip out the battery charger's prongs and insert the prongs into a power outlet.
For LC-E8E
  • Connect the power cord to the charger and insert the plug into the power outlet.
  • Recharging starts automatically and the charge lamp turns orange.
  • When the battery is fully recharged, the full-charge lamp will turn green.
  • It takes approx. 2 hours to fully recharge a completely exhausted battery at 23°C / 73°F. The time required to recharge the battery depends on the ambient temperature and battery's charge level.
  • For safety reasons, recharging in low temperatures (6°C - 10°C / 43°F - 50°F) will take a longer time (up to 4 hours).

Tips for Using the Battery and Charger

  • Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be used. Even during storage, a charged battery will gradually discharge and lose its power.
  • After recharging the battery, detach it and unplug the charger from the power outlet.
  • When not using the camera, remove the battery. If the battery is left in the camera for a prolonged period, a small amount of power current is released, resulting in excess discharge and shorter battery life. Store the battery with the protective cover attached. Storing the battery after it is fully charged can lower the battery's performance.
  • The battery charger can also be used in foreign countries. The battery charger is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/60 Hz power source. If necessary, attach a commercially-available plug adapter for the respective country or region. Do not attach any portable voltage transformer to the battery charger. Doing so can damage the battery charger.
  • If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after being fully charged, the battery has reached the end of its service life. Purchase a new battery.
  • Do not charge any battery other than the Battery Pack LP-E8.
  • The Battery Pack LP-E8 is dedicated to Canon products only. Using it with an incompatible battery charger or product may result in malfunction or accidents for which Canon cannot be held liable.
