In order to prolong the life of your BETACOM CONCERTO replacement battery please read the following:
Your BETACOM CONCERTO battery is charged during production in order to test it. Your BETACOM CONCERTO rechargeable battery will discharge between the end of the production and the moment you receive it. That is why your BETACOM CONCERTO 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 BETACOM CONCERTO battery and prolong the life of your camera power supply.
Your BETACOM CONCERTO 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 CONCERTO battery will discharge. If you intend to leave your BETACOM CONCERTO 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 BETACOM CONCERTO battery.

Our CONCERTO batteries have a two year warranty, represent excellent value and meet or exceed the original specifications.
