The HL-S1 is a replacement for BLS-1 and is a high quality replacement digital camera battery.
Only the most modern battery technology is used in hähnel Lithium Ion batteries. They are environmentally friendly, feature a very high energy density and have no memory effect. The batteries are much smaller and lighter than any other rechargeable battery with similar capacity. All batteries are produced to the highest quality standards. A built-in microprocessor safeguards the cells by limiting maximum voltage and by protecting against deep discharge, short circuit and overload.
In order to prolong the life of your HL-S1 replacement battery please read the following:
Your HL-S1 battery is charged during production in order to test it. Your HL-S1 rechargeable battery will discharge between the end of the production and the moment you receive it. That is why your HL-S1 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 HL-S1 battery and prolong the life of your camera power supply.
Your HL-S1 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 HL-S1 battery will discharge. If you intend to leave your HL-S1 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 HL-S1 battery.
Rather than supplying original BLS-1 batteries, we supply replacement HL-S1 batteries made by Hahnel. Our HL-S1 batteries have a three year warranty, represent excellent value and meet or exceed the original specifications. We also offer free delivery on all our products including the HL-S1.
