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