In order to prolong the life of your Panasonic DMC-LC40K replacement battery please read the following:
Your Panasonic DMC-LC40K battery is charged during production in order to test it. Your Panasonic DMC-LC40K rechargeable battery will discharge between the end of the production and the moment you receive it. That is why your Panasonic DMC-LC40K 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 Panasonic DMC-LC40K battery and prolong the life of your camera power supply.
Your Panasonic DMC-LC40K 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 DMC-LC40K battery will discharge. If you intend to leave your Panasonic DMC-LC40K 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 Panasonic DMC-LC40K battery.
