1 how, for the new battery
In the use of lithium battery should be paid attention to in the battery is, after a period of time, while in a suspended state, use the time less than normal capacity to be shortened. But the lithium battery easily activation, long after the 3-5 times of normal
Electricity cycle can activate cells, restore normal capacity. Due to the characteristics of lithium battery itself, it almost no memory effects. So the user’s new lithium battery in the activation process, do not need special methods and equipments. Not only in theory, from my own practice, from start charging method using standard “natural” means the activation is the best.
For lithium battery “activate”, many are charging time: more than 12 hours must be repeated, three times, in order to activate cells. The “three times before the battery should fill over 12 hours,” from nickel battery (such as nickel cadmium and continued nimh). So this statement, say to misinformation. Lithium battery and cadium battery charging and discharging characteristics of very big difference, but also can be very clear tell everyone that I have had all the serious technical data are emphasized the formal overcharge and discharge of lithium battery, especially will liquid lithium ion battery caused great damage. So the best according to standard time and battery charging standard method, especially not for more than 12 hours long battery. Usually, the charging method introduced in instruction is suitable for the battery, the method of charging standards.
In addition, the lithium battery chargers in batteries will automatically stop after filling, does not exist nickel electricity charger so-called lasts 10 hours of Juan “flow” charge. That is to say, if you of lithium battery charger, put in the BaiChong also. But none of us can ensure the battery charging and discharging characteristics of protection circuit will change and the quality of your battery, so no danger in the long term. This is also our long charge against another reason.
In addition, another aspect is the lithium battery also not suited to discharge, discharge of lithium battery also very disadvantageous. This leads to the following questions.

2, the normal use should start charging
In our forum, often can see this statement, because the charge is limited, so it should be possible to batteries run for recharging. But I find a lithium-ion battery charge on the experiment, the data about the life cycle listed as follows:
Circulation service life (10) : > 1000 times DOD
Circulation service life (100% DOD) : > 200 times
DOD is one of the abbreviations depth discharge. From the table, rechargeable frequency and discharge depth, 10% of life cycle DOD than 100% DOD to many. Of course if converted into actual total capacity of charging 10% : 100,100 % * * 1000 = 200 = 200, the latter’s full charge will be better, but in front of the users to do some correction: under normal circumstances, you should have a reservation battery remaining power according to the principle of a filling, but if you charge the battery in the first 2 days you expected throughout the day may not insist, should promptly started charging, of course, if you would carry charger into office again when when.
But you need to recharge to cope with upcoming will lead to the important events of communication is busy, even though there are many more in battery power, then you just ahead, because you didn’t charge real loss “1″ time is life, charging cycles “0 x”, and often times the x will be small.
Battery remaining power after using the principle of filling and not again to you to go to extremes. And as a widespread charging, namely “as the battery power as the best use automatic shutdown. This practice is the practice of cadium battery, the aim is to avoid memory effects occur, unfortunately it in lithium batteries in the present. Once someone because like machine battery power is too low, the warning still not charging continue to use has been used in the automatic shutdown. The results of the example in the later as machine without charging and boot in response to customer maintenance, send. This is because of excessive discharge batteries due to low voltage, that do not have the normal charge and boot conditions.

When you purchase a new battery or several months after the battery, use a few times after completely filled with put to activate electronic, battery life will be short. Lithium battery charge in more than six hours must be nimh batteries, must be more than 14 hours, such batteries can be completely filled.
Using the original battery charger and will help extend battery life. In charge of time, depends on the battery charger and used, and whether the use of voltage stability, and other factors.
Battery and residual quantity, try not to repeat charging, to ensure the battery life. Even in the digital camera battery has run down, that is, in fact, a bit of residual battery power. If the situation in unused to recharge the battery repeatedly, battery time will gradually shortened. Want to make use of time to recover the original level, many times repeatedly “completely finished using it for recharging. We can use small electric to solve this problem. If is the 5th rechargeable batteries, and can be installed in both the electric power of the battery recharging after exhaustion.
Turn off the power large LCD display, optical viewfinder. If you must have LCD screen, it’s a little better brightness or convert black-and-white. This can be fully saving energy, and extend the life of the battery.
Periodically will charge after the discharge battery, the easiest way is to use adjusting charger or pulse charger.
Old battery don’t also collocation is used. Even the old brand collocation of battery can also lead to its damage, digital camera related circuit there will also be dangerous, so old battery problem you must pay attention to.
Usually many recharging problems are due to the battery contact caused not clean, therefore we should not regularly use of alcohol a dip to wipe clean battery point of contact.
Note the temperature, and the use of charging it is especially important for nimh batteries. Should be in 0 ° C and 40 ° C environmental temperature on the battery. Below 0 ° C will allow the battery charge under the abnormal, causing internal battery performance of unrecoverable continued to decline. Above 40 ° C, there will be in charge of leakage.
If long time not to use the camera battery, will be removed from the camera, and on the cold, dry place.
Use no matter what kind of rechargeable batteries, not in charging immediately after the use of digital cameras in, it’s best to just finish filling battery, do a little place mainly because just completed the closed loop battery voltage may have a higher than the rated voltage, if the camera will immediately into the camera on circuit components. So, had better wait rechargeable batteries self-discharge rated voltage again when to use. Of course, also not be charged rechargeable batteries, so for a long time, mothballs for recharging the battery itself is not good.
Finally, if there is a reminder of AC voltage adapter can use conditions, had better use of AC power supply voltage adapter, or high cost of rechargeable batteries. Most digital cameras are equipped with adaptive voltage AC power adapter himself. Before use, you should first make clear the AC power adapter is external, or 110V voltage, because, if one 220V voltage with infixing undeserved, easily burnt out power even camera. Don’t use other voltage adapter power, because each camera, manufacturer produces the camera in the adaptive voltage, current, and specifications, etc are different, use improper voltage adapter power, light damage easily camera power interface, serious when might not match because of voltage, current and burned the camera. Therefore, to special remind note.camera battery

The maintenance of the battery

For a (festival) digital camera battery, use the length of time, not only with the quality, quantity, and the use of user operation is also great relevance. Most amateur after each use camera is placed inside the habitual, or go on cupboard.nothing, battery doesn’t take out separately, this sounds like no problem, but against the battery protection.
Usually, if not to use the camera above 15 days, had better take from inside the camera battery, preservation of the environment separately store is best dry and cool place, but don’t be stored together with metal items batteries.
According to our survey on market now, you can buy the digital camera is using lithium batteries, most of it is relatively easy storage. Only need to pay attention to is not the best use of words, every 2 months, activate a battery, also is blunt once, so discharge effectively prolong battery life.
Nimh batteries, but may hate is memory effects, the effect of the total capacity of the battery will be reduced and the use of time, and with the passage of time, storage battery charge will be less and less, also can use more quickly. Therefore, should try to finish all power battery recharging, each must be charged to the full to cut off the electricity.
If, when you go for the temporary use of alkaline batteries, must remember to take a long time, otherwise once use, battery easily drips water corrosion circuit, the camera can discard fate.
The user to use alkaline batteries, had mentioned above, remember that is used in digital camera battery, must remember, lest appear flowing liquid phenomenon and damage to the battery.
And to use rechargeable lithium battery nimh batteries and users. Battery charge is to have cultured very much, just to buy back the battery is low or no general electric power, the first charge must be sufficient. Lithium battery charging time to exceed 8 hours, while charging nimh batteries commonly more than 16 hours. And to achieve the best effect, also is to make the battery has reached its maximum power, general repeatedly charging can put over 3 times. Batteries used in three times, had better find a chance to complete all power again, try not to charge the battery and residual electric charge or repeatedly will shorten the battery life. After charging battery is compared commonly heat, stay again into the camera battery after cooling.

But, because there is no memory effects of lithium batteries, so don’t discharge, otherwise would only damage cell structure, the loss of the battery life.

In addition, in order to avoid the loss of power, the use of the user, in the nimh batteries remove battery charging electric after finish, don’t let the battery while the negative poles, for example, don’t touch conductor fingers and contact battery ends. While using lithium batteries, should try to keep the user of the box camera batteries battery anode contact point is clean, may, when necessary, use dry cloth to wipe gently wipe again into the battery.

Also note that, even if the user, lithium batteries used in long time don’t use a digital camera, also want to completely discharge the battery, and stored in a dry, cool environment. But in addition to note is that whether the use of nimh batteries or lithium battery user, had better not be has been good battery guiltily, pocket, handbag or with metal items in the container, in order to prevent short circuits.

Digital camera batteries electricity laws:
1, avoid the frequent use of flash: if you are not professional photography personage, unless it is unable to see in the dark, light intensity of ordinary day for general digital camera, it is enough.
2 and avoid unnecessary zoom camera operation: zoom out a shrink, very power consumption. You can move by “artificial zoom” instead of “camera zoom” to save power.
3, don’t let the screen has been lighted: if not in the power of the circumstances, can close LCD, use viewfinder to adjust the picture composition, for a digital camera, it should be the most power of LCD, general digital camera, parts in closed after the LCD can be used when the time is about three times as long.
4, with less even pat and video: use less as far as possible even pat function and dynamic image short films, because these functions of the function is to use the built-in complete fuselage buffer to temporarily save took pictures, power consumption.
5 and avoid frequently, shutdown: many users know screen has been very bright, so in the use of electricity in order to save the electricity, frequent open and shut. Actually, frequent shutdown wasted power consumption than highlighting display more, especially for the lens diameter larger, and the camera is greatly need, switch machine is power. Most digital cameras have automatic shutdown options, this set is unfavorable setting too short, easy to cause the frequent open and shut. Of course people open and shut the frequent also should avoid.
6 and optical FangDou not often open: FangDou optical lens component is driven by or image sensor, the offset is image and the relative movement between the sensor and the realization. Either way, FangDou optical can cause of power consumption, especially some models FangDou mode can be set to “open”, this power loss will be more severe. Therefore, we should be very good scene light under close FangDou function, must use the optical, also should use less frequently “open” mode.camera battery

Digital camera battery to analyze and solve problems alarm

Nov 4, 2009 Author admin

Before using Canon digital cameras are A200 (2,000,000 pixels), with two section v battery bought years ago, N, hard to use, often appear battery alarm, unbootable. Therefore, this change a thousand yuan to buy is around 800 million pixels A590 (, ah, I how can use low grade), with two section v battery, originally thought had for so many years, Canon should solve this problem for the battery alarm,… Johnson is difficult to use! Alkaline battery pack, not for a long time, and then cannot use the alarm. 5 nimh batteries charging more miserable, just full of electricity, can put in a period of time, if the battery is put half month 10 days, not a few will alarm, then can’t use, should remove battery pack again, and can take some tickets. Buy a 2000MAH, 2300MAH product – a good batteries etc, buy to buy, or bad to use! The battery pack can pat to other appliances, also full of electricity! So the battery recharging, full of battery is very bad, reoccupy and use, it is difficult to use other appliances, with a long time to finish, put simply use alkaline batteries.
Then think not the reason, is buying again good nimh batteries, still have the problem, and spent a lot of money to buy batteries, battery pile, are not.

The main reason is:

1 the self-discharge nimh batteries. Self-discharge are serious, battery put a period of time, the voltage, resistance and camera can not open the machine. Often is a heap, rechargeable battery someday to clap a temporary, battery can use, only to find the alkaline battery, results and alkaline batteries with a heap, money into a waste of money. With nimh batteries, full of electricity, first, reoccupy. Troubles.

2 the camera battery alarm causes.
People say this camera design problems, I Canon to play a part, is really a Canon camera alkaline battery design. But in low voltage, current camera is too big, various reasons (such as contact resistance) are caused by bad rechargeable batteries. In fact, the most suitable to use the camera is alkaline battery (should be designed for camera design alkaline batteries, ordinary alkaline battery is so-so), 1.5 V voltage, 2 3V. Ni-mh battery section is only 120 V, low much.

Find the reasons:
Detection of Canon camera voltage:
Take 1502 (15V, 2A) maintenance adjustable power, plug into the camera A590, measured again:
Plug and camera is the contact resistance between, plug smaller, contact resistance, so will also have error detection, current, the smaller the smaller error.

Testing results:
1 voltage, camera battery voltage alarm appeared to high, battery alarm wouldn’t disappear unless off again,

2 check, the image of current relatively small, current 200mA about. At this moment, less than 225 V, battery alarm, then turning the voltage than at 2.30 V, battery alarm will disappear. Voltage or 2.02 V, camera shutdown, “replacement battery;”

3 shooting, LCD, then open, plug the current caused more contact resistance. Then, the voltage and current is 2.5 V about A half, by 0.5 to shutter, current 1A again, to 0.6 A.
About less than 240 V (voltage 2.37 V), voltage alarm.
Voltage 2.5 V, easy to appear sometimes difficult to boot, battery alarm, sometimes can open, sometimes not open, sometimes a shoot will shutdown. (so measure off voltage meaningless)
Voltage can be 3.5 V, normal boot, normal use. Current, only A half width to press shutter, current around A rush to 0.6 than 2.5 V when the voltage, small A lot!!!!!!!!!!
Canon (outer power supply voltage is the standard output V) –

Results:

Contact resistance is measured, can assume the contact resistance and we plug in contact resistance of battery pack, the 2.5 V is difficult to use the voltage, often can not open the machine.
To know nimh batteries before discharging voltage standard 1.1 V, 2 only 2.2 V, only with a battery, will only to 1.3 V above. So, to use nimh batteries only works with electricity. Self-discharge… Hey hey
Although the alkaline battery voltage, but 1.5 V anti-shocking test shows that, the main discharging voltage in general 1.1 V – 130 V (see online assessment report), so, the alkaline battery for a while and it can’t use, is normal.

To solve the problem:

Better is a camera, change with the lithium electricity, 3.7 V, but this is not true, I was not rich.
Li-ion battery voltage, current, contact resistance is small will affect smaller,
Low self-discharge lithium electricity, put a period of time, take out again with that! This is very important.
Lithium electricity is the fifth, size and 14,500 battery is big, can buy from taobao. Once a day, only with 2 will burn machine.
One day the lithium electricity directly to use? NONO take you, full of electricity 4.2 V, camera, but may the flash may effect?? Dare not. But how low voltage electric voltage, lithium can discharge, otherwise than 2.7 V soon.
A false batteries, inside a diode buck! On the market to become 3V lithium electricity. Is the capacity and small lot. Fish and bear’s paw!

OK, begin to make a battery pack hole 14,500 li-ion battery (DLG, no protection board, 3.6 700mAH V, and full of electricity 4.2 V), another battery hole hypocrisy battery (diode).
Battery anode without convex, mount, so a small protruding. Welding
The battery is difficult to do, I do, but a string for two diode, pressure drop, use 1.1 V feel good, but the pressure drop may be bigger, a battery or doesn’t work well. May the battery and relevant quality. In general, not much better than the original is not a machine or not.
Mount diode, battery capacity only about 500mAH V, 3.6. Capacity is low, with low is most important!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2300mAH 1.2 V, but not the old alarm, machine, have what use?

Next time, do only a diode, a false battery try…
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Netizen breeze said: if you want to change junfolding lithium electricity use 14,500 of lithium iron batteries.
I checked, good, phosphoric acid of lithium iron batteries more suitable than normal li-ion battery voltage is suitable!
Netizens said with sanyo low put Enloop battery since. I think a problem, but self-discharge contact resistance is also a problem, also is a problem, low use sanyo low Enloop since the battery, I think there will also be the alarm. Batteries,
Therefore, the conclusion is as follows:
(1) the use of lithium iron batteries 14,500 phosphate (3.2 V, 500mAH, full of electricity is 3.6 V), plus a conductor electricity body (false batteries, no diode, direct conduction), with 3.6 V charger, these three things are sold in TAOBAO, can search. The electricity is about 2000mAH nimh 1/3, but won’t appear battery alarm.
Two (2) from the lower section sanyo Enloop batteries, at least some of the common nimh better. Large capacity, but also possible. Battery alarm
(3) if there is 14,500 ordinary li-ion battery (3.6 V, 700mAH, is full of 4.2 V), false cell is a diode, remove 0.7 V pressure drop. The false battery pack diode, need to do some can DIY. This way, electricity and (1).
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
2009.7.12
A 6A07 only a diode (6A, pressure drop about 0.7 V) fake batteries, deserve to go up 3.7 V 14,500 li-ion battery (4.2 V) with electricity is very good, and found that the camera!
(the positive and negative false battery plate more difficult, then open the cheap sex, carbon anode is dry, can take down, also very good welding, ha, will bring positive pole, compared with do for good measure, the diode is good welding. Alkaline battery encapsulation very well, don’t move.
Li-ion battery charger is using my mobile phone TL431 (fortress seat charger, 4.2 V constant-voltage) change.
In a few months, very good!camera battery

Digital camera, the maintenance of the battery

Nov 3, 2009 Author admin

Battery for digital camera is the key, lest the importance to the second shot, had seemed, a strong battery power provides a follow-up is essential. But the timely again good battery, if not good for maintenance and maintenance, will soon lose strong motivation, so the maintenance of the battery is very important.
For a (festival) digital camera battery, use the length of time, not only with the quality, quantity, and the use of user operation is also great relevance.

Digital camera battery power saving six recruit

Oct 27, 2009 Author admin

1, buy choice: buying a digital camera battery must choose good prestige, after-sale security agents, dealers and packing batteries have damaged, attention should be laser anti-counterfeiting mark, manufacturers, and contact phone number, address, battery url, etc, pressure loss of deformation and contacts smudgy scratch etc; no The same brand battery businessman sales price difference is the basic difference is too big, can produce counterfeit suspected or otherwise. If economic conditions permit should choose purchase original battery, Other brand battery can compare with regular original battery.
2, no less frequent switch machine, with the flash card (and seek) : digital cameras in standby or frequent switch machine will cause the zd7000 battery depletion, In addition, if have automatic digital camera flashes Settings, dark will automatically start filming in May, so everyday situations should be used sparingly.
Three, use less LCD point, camera and replay: now digital SLRS mostly can frame and camera LCD, but the battery power increased by constantly, replay, so use battery power is! Want to prolong battery time time is best to reduce or not use camera tricks and LCD LCD automatically, standby time Settings should not be too long, don’t use is set to be turned off to conserve power.
4 and careful even pat function: because of the exposure to take such or shooting dark long, people use even pat function, because even pat is using the fuselage built-in cache to temporarily save image information, such not only photos are not clear is power.
5 and less with face recognition and FangDou function: start face recognition function of power will lead to loss. At present, most digital cameras are designed FangDou function, but more power, especially the lens SLR cameras FangDou open power greater use less as far as possible, so FangDou function, form the habit of use the tripod.
6, pay attention to the battery for safekeeping: digital camera for a long time, and shall not, insert the battery protective plastic, avoid battery contacts with other metal items, usually avoid collision, friction with sweat hand or dirty hands battery contacts, don’t touch, avoid contact with high extrusion collision, magnetic field, chemical corrosion items, not available with original battery charger, otherwise not matching will directly influence the battery life.camera battery
