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

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.

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? blush.gif

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