In order to prolong the life of your JVC GCQX3U replacement battery please read the following:

Your JVC GCQX3U battery is charged during production in order to test it. Your JVC GCQX3U rechargeable battery will discharge between the end of the production and the moment you receive it. That is why your JVC GCQX3U 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 JVC GCQX3U battery and prolong the life of your camera power supply.

Your JVC GCQX3U 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 GCQX3U battery will discharge. If you intend to leave your JVC GCQX3U 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 JVC GCQX3U battery.
