Hi,

May I know do you ppl took out the battery when not using the camera for a long period?

Will it cause any problem it keeping the battery inside the camera body?
Any best ways to keep the battery for great performance?


Thanks

keep in the fridge

This is true lol even its funny. Better take off from camera because the battery might spoil or leak if you put inside the camera.

Is it need to fully charge the battery before store in fridge?

charge only up to around 50% (or use it until u have 50%), then store in the fridge

May I know, why should we keep it in the fridge?

cold = slows down chemical reactions = battery in suspended animation = longer life

but camera body and lenses, dunno need to put in the fridge next to the chicken or not ???

But when you mention "longer life", does that mean the battery will last longer or keep/maintain it's charge longer?
Because AFAIK, lithium-ion batteries will discharge itself in cold temperatures?

for the battery only, increasing the battery capacity back...but must pack with newspaper, put into plactic bag avoid the water go inside..
handfon battery also can.

"longer life" here means the battery will have slower internal ageing.
