Charging, Recording and Playback Times
Below times are approximate and vary according to the charging, recording or playback conditions. Times are calculated based on testing with a XL H1 operating in HDV mode. XL H1 (SD mode) and XL1(s)/XL2 times will be somewhat longer.

*Approximate times for recording with repeated operations such as start/stop, zooming, power on/off. Actual time may be shorter.
- We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 50o F and 86o F (10o C and 30o C). Outside the temperature range of 32o F to 104o F (0o C to 40o C), the CHARGE indicator turns off, and charging stops.
- A lithium ion battery pack can be charged at any charge state. Unlike conventional battery packs, you do not need to completely use or discharge it before charging.
- We recommend that you prepare battery packs 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.
- To conserve battery power, turn off the camcorder instead of leaving it in record pause mode.
