How to be durable, digital camera battery maintenance tips
Batteries are the key to a key for digital cameras , probably the importance is only after lens, and if you want to take photographs in Convenience, a powerful battery to provide power as a follow-up is essential. But even the best battery , if it isn't properly carried out maintenance and maintenance, iy will lose a strong momentumnot for not a long time , so battery maintenance is very important.
Battery Maintenance
For a piece of digital camera battery, the length of using time is not only related with the quality and power , in fact,it also has great relevance with the user's operation . Most photographers are accustomed to place inside the camera bags after running out of the camera each time , or place it inside cabinets, they doesn't put batteries out to save individually, this approach sounds like there is no problem, but it is not conducive to battery protection.
Generally speaking, if you do not use the camera more than 15 days , then it is best to remove the battery from the camera for a separate storage, preservation of the environment is best dry and shady place, and do not store the battery together with metal objects.
According to our survey, currently in the market you can buy the majority of digital cameras which use lithium batteries, it is relatively easy to store. The only caveat is that if it is not used for a long time,activate the battery preferably at intervals of 2 months, that is, charge and discharge once, this can effectively extend battery life.
As for the Ni-MH battery 5, the most annoying is the memory effect, this effect will reduce the total capacity of the battery and the use of time, and as time goes on, stored charge is less and less, the battery also will consume faster. Therefore, we should try to used the power fully then rechargea, each charge must be sufficient to power off.
If you go out and temporaryly use alkaline batteries, you must remember that put it out in time , or else once it is not used for a long time , the battery is easy to suffer corrosion circuit by water, the camera could not escape the destiny scrapped.
For users who use alkaline batteries , as already mentioned, bear in mind is that when you finished in the use of digital cameras, you must remember removing the battery to avoid battery fluid flow phenomena of causing damage to machines.
As for users who use rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries and lithium batteries . The battery charge is very particular, and when you just bought back the battery,its power is low or no power in general, the first charge must be adequate. Lithium battery charging time are generally more than 8 hours, while the Ni-MH battery charging time are generally more than 16 hours. To achieve the best results, that is to say, to make the battery reach its maximum power, it is generally repeated charge-discharge three or more times. After using three times, the best place to find the opportunity to make a further charge fully recharge, when there is residual power in the battery,don't repeat charge, or it will shorten battery life. Battery will be heat after charging , it is best to wait it become cool,and then load camera battery.
However, note that because the lithium batteries have no memory effect, so do not discharge, otherwise it will destroy the battery structure, and loss battery life.
In addition, in order to avoid the loss of electricity, the users who use nickel-metal hydride battery should remove the battery charge after the power end, do not let the battery poles in contact with conductors at the same time, for example, do not use your fingers at the same time at both ends of the battery contacts. The users who use lithium batteries should try to keep the camera battery box battery positive and negative contact points clean, if necessary, you can use a dry cloth gently wipe the swab and then fix into the battery.
Also need to note that, even if the users who to use lithium batteries, if you don't use a digital camera for a long time, you should completely discharge it, then remove the battery, store it in a dry and cool environment. The other should be noted that, whether the users who use nickel-metal hydride batteries or lithium batteries , it is best not to put the battery which has a good electrical charge on the bag, pocket, bag or container with metal objects, it can prevent short-circuit .
