Frequently Asked Questions - EN-EL21 Watson

How do I charge the Watson EN-EL21 battery?

Charge the battery pack before use. Refer to your camcorder or digital camera manual for specific charging instructions.

What is the operating temperature range for this battery?

The battery should be used between 15°F (-10°C) and 105°F (40°C). Using it outside this range may activate a safety circuit.

Can I store the battery in a refrigerator?

Yes, you may store the battery in a refrigerator, but do not store it in a freezer. The ideal storage temperature is 59°F (15°C).

What is the best charge level for long-term storage?

For extended storage, keep the battery at approximately 40% charge. Neither fully charged nor fully discharged is recommended.

Why does the battery feel warm during use or charging?

It is normal for the battery to become warm during use or recharging. This is not a defect.

What should I do if the battery gets wet?

Do not expose the battery to rain or moisture. If it gets wet, dry it with a soft cloth and avoid using until completely dry.

Is the battery protected against short circuits?

Yes, the battery has an internal self-resetting fuse. However, short circuits may still cause severe damage, so avoid shorting the terminals.

How long does the battery last per charge?

Running time depends on power demand. Manufacturer run times are based on non-stop recording; real-life use (zoom, autofocus, etc.) will shorten runtime.

Can I dispose of the battery in regular trash?

No. Do not incinerate or dispose of in fire. Recycle Li-ion batteries according to local regulations.

What does the warranty cover?

The one-year limited warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal consumer use. It does not cover misuse or damage. Contact Watson for an RMA number to return defective products.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

- Charge the battery pack before use. Read your camcorder or digital camera manual for charging instructions.

- When not in use, remove the battery pack from its device and store in a cool, dry place.

- Do not short circuit the terminals. This battery is protected with an internal self-resetting fuse, but short circuits may still cause severe damage to the battery. Be careful where you set the battery down.

• Under no circumstance attempt to open the battery case.
- Do not expose the battery to rain or moisture.

- Keep away from fire. Do not incinerate. Battery may explode in the presence of fire.

- Do not drop battery or expose it to strong shocks.

- Do not use at temperatures below 15°F (-10°C) or above 105°F (40°C). Use of the battery at very high temperatures will activate a safety circuit, disallowing use.

- Running time depends on the power demanded. Stated manufacturer run times are developed in simple laboratory tests of non-stop recording. Real-life use of zoom, automatic focus, tape review, etc., all demand extra power and shorten run time.
