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