In order to prolong the life of your CANON NB-5H replacement battery please read the following:
Your CANON NB-5H battery is charged during production in order to test it. Your CANON NB-5H rechargeable battery will discharge between the end of the production and the moment you receive it. That is why your CANON NB-5H 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 CANON NB-5H battery and prolong the life of your camera power supply.
Your CANON NB-5H 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 NB-5H battery will discharge. If you intend to leave your CANON NB-5H 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 CANON NB-5H battery.
Rather than supplying original CANON NB-5H batteries, we supply replacement NB-5H batteries made by Uniross and Hahnel. Our NB-5H 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 NB-5H battery.
