Since this is a lithium-ion battery, you need not completely
discharge it before recharging.
It takes approximately 1 hours 45 minutes to fully charge the
battery from a depleted state (based on Canon's testing
standards).
• Charging it within a temperature range of 5 – 40 °C (41 – 104 °F) is
recommended.
• Charge times may vary according to the ambient temperature and
the battery's charge state.
You are advised to charge the battery on the day of use, or one
day before, to ensure a full charge.
Even charged batteries continue to discharge naturally.
If the performance of the battery diminishes substantially even
when it is fully charged, its life has been exceeded and it
should be replaced.
