Battery pack charging time

Content Id: 8203706200

Solution

Charging times are approximate and vary according to charging conditions and initial charge of the battery pack.

Charging conditions	Battery pack
Charging conditions	BP-820	BP-828
Using the camcorder and supplied CA-946 AC adpater	230 min.	350 min.
Using the CG-800 Battery Charger	190 min.	260 min.

Caution

Checking the Remaining Battery Charge

With the camcorder turned off, press the BATT. INFO button to display for about 5 seconds a screen showing the approximate battery charge level and an estimate of the remaining recording time. Note that if the battery charge is too low, the battery information screen may not appear.

Caution

We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 °C and 30 °C (50 °F and 86 °F). If either the ambient temperature or the battery pack's temperature is outside the range of approx. 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F), charging will not start.

The battery pack will be charged only when the camcorder is off.

If the power supply was disconnected while charging a battery pack, make sure the POWER/CHG indicator has gone out before restoring the power supply.

If remaining battery time is an issue, you can power the camcorder using the AC adapter so the battery pack will not be consumed.

Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the day of use, or the day before, to ensure a full charge.

We recommend that you prepare battery packs to last 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.

Caution

Do not connect to the AC adapter any product that is not expressly recommended for use with this camcorder.

Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the AC adapter. After you turn off the camcorder, important data is updated on the SD card. Be sure to wait until the green POWER/CHG indicator goes out.

When using the AC adapter, do not fix it permanently to one place as this may cause a malfunction.

To prevent equipment breakdowns and excessive heating, do not connect the supplied AC adapter to voltage converters for overseas travels or special power sources such as those on aircraft and ships, DC-AC inverters, etc.
