FAQs
How do I know if the battery is fully charged?
The charging indicator on your camcorder or charger will indicate when the battery is fully charged. Consult your camcorder's manual for specific details.
Can I use a non-Sony charger?
It is recommended to use a compatible Sony charger to ensure safe and efficient charging. Using a non-Sony charger may void the warranty and could potentially damage the battery or camcorder.

Immediately remove the battery from the camcorder and allow it to dry completely before attempting to use it again. If water damage is suspected, it is best to have the battery checked by a professional.
How should I store the battery for long periods?
Store the battery in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. It is best to store the battery with a partial charge (around 40-50%) to maintain its longevity.
