Estimated Charging and Continuous Operating Times
Charging Time (supplied SSL-JVC50 battery pack)
Approx. 4 h
Memo
Use up the charge completely before you charge the battery. If the battery is not fully discharged before charging, the battery capacity may drop after repeated cycles.
If the battery capacity drops due to repetitive shallow charging and discharging, it may be recovered by using up the charge completely and then fully charging the battery again.
If you charge the battery immediately after using while the battery is still warm, it may not be fully charged.
It is recommended that you charge the battery in an environment between 10 °C and 35 °C (50 °F and 95 °F). The battery may not be fully charged or the charging time may be prolonged if charged under low temperatures (below 10 °C/50 °F).
Continuous Operating Time (supplied SSL-JVC50 battery pack)
Approx. 2 hrs 45 mins
Memo
Actual operating times may differ depending on the age of the battery, charging condition, and operating environment.
Operating time is shortened in cold environment.
The operating time may shorten when power zoom is used, accessories are connected, or when the LCD monitor is frequently used.
For purchase of spare batteries and battery charger, consult your nearest JVC dealer.
Precautions for Batteries
Store the battery in a cool and dry place when not in use. Do not expose the battery to high temperatures (such as in a car under direct sunlight). This will cause battery leakage and shorten the battery life.
If the operating time shortens drastically even after charging, the battery may be reaching the end of its life. Replace the battery with a new one.
