In order to prolong the life of your Inovix DC-480 replacement battery please read the following:

Your Inovix DC-480 battery is charged during production in order to test it. Your Inovix DC-480 rechargeable battery will discharge between the end of the production and the moment you receive it. That is why your Inovix DC-480 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 Inovix DC-480 battery and prolong the life of your camera power supply.

Your Inovix DC-480 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 DC-480 battery will discharge. If you intend to leave your Inovix DC-480 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 Inovix DC-480 battery.
