In order to prolong the life of your SHARP VLAX1U replacement battery please read the following:
Your SHARP VLAX1U battery is charged during production in order to test it. Your SHARP VLAX1U rechargeable battery will discharge between the end of the production and the moment you receive it. That is why your SHARP VLAX1U battery will have to be charged before you use it. You can use your existing charger or an external charger this will optimize charging of your SHARP VLAX1U battery and prolong the life of your camera power supply.
Your SHARP VLAX1U rechargeable battery discharges slowly and progressively when not in use. The self discharge rate is about 1% of the battery's capacity per day at room temperature. The higher the temperature, the faster your VLAX1U battery will discharge. If you intend to leave your SHARP VLAX1U battery for a prolonged period without use then a service charge is recommended from time to time, taking in to account the self discharge rate and time between using your SHARP VLAX1U battery.

Our VLAX1U batteries have a two year warranty, represent excellent value and meet or exceed the original specifications. We also offer free delivery on all our products including the VLAX1U battery.
