The charging times given in the following table are approximate and vary according to charging conditions and initial charge of the battery pack.

Reference:

When the camcorder is off, press <BATT. INFO> to display the charge status of a battery pack. The Intelligent System will display the charge status (as a percentage) and the remaining recording time (in minutes) for 5 seconds. If the battery pack is exhausted, the battery information may not be displayed.

When you use battery packs bearing the Intelligent System mark, the camcorder will communicate with the battery and display the remaining usage time (accurate to 1 minute). You can only use and charge these battery packs with camcorders and chargers compatible with Intelligent System.

Attention:

• Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the compact power adapter. After pressing <POWER> to turn off the camcorder, important data is updated in the memory. Be sure to wait until the green ON/OFF (CHG) indicator goes out.
• We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 deg C and 30 deg C (50 deg F and 86 deg F). If either the ambient temperature or the battery pack's temperature is outside the range of approx. 0 deg C to 40 deg C (32 deg F to 104 deg F), charging will not start.
• The battery pack will be charged only when the camcorder is off.
• Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the day of use, or the day before, to ensure a full charge.
• Use of genuine Canon accessories is recommended.
• This product is designed to achieve excellent performance when used with genuine Canon accessories. Canon shall not be liable for any damage to this product and/or accidents such as fire, etc., caused by the malfunction of non-genuine Canon accessories (e.g., a leakage and/or explosion of a battery pack). Please note that this warranty does not apply to repairs arising out of the malfunction of non-genuine Canon accessories, although you may request such repairs on a chargeable basis.
