Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.

About Batteries

DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart, or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may

cause a fire or explosion.

WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals to come in contact with metals, as this can result in a

short circuit and possibly start a fire.

The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large power capacity. However, when one is exposed to cold

temperatures (below 10°C/50°F), its usage time becomes shorter and it may cease to function. If this happens,

place the battery pack in your pocket or other warm, protected place for a short time, then re-attach it to the

camcorder. As long as the battery pack itself is not cold, it should not affect performance.

(If you’re using a heating pad, make sure the battery pack does not come in direct contact with it.)
