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