Refer to the user manual of your portable electronic equipment for charging instructions. A new lithium ion fujifilm np-80 battery pack needs to be fully charged and fully discharged or "cycled" as much as five times to condition them into performing at full capacity. Your equipment may report a fully charge condition in as short as 10 to 15 minutes when the new np-80 camera battery pack is being charged for the first time. This is a normal phenomenon especially for Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) and Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) chemistries. When this happens, remove the fujifilm np-80 digital camera battery pack and let it cool down for about fifteen minutes then repeat the charging procedure. "Conditioning" (fully discharging and then fully charging) is necessary so as to maintain the optimum performance of a battery pack, and is recommended at least once a month particularly for Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries. Failure to do so could result in reduced charge capacity and can significantly shorten the np-80 rechargeable battery packs useful life. Lithium Ion np-80 batteries do not require conditioning. It is normal for a fujifilm digital camera battery pack to get warm when charging and during use. However, if the battery pack gets excessive hot, here may be a problem with the portable electronic equipments charging circuit and should therefore be checked by a qualified technician. Rechargeable batteries undergo self-discharging when left unused for long periods of time.
