BP-11/BP-11A Question

[JimLittle]

Just wondering if it's ok to charge these when they get low or should one make sure they're dead flat out before charging??


Thanks!

I've always charged mine whenever I get a spare moment, haven't noticed a lifespan decrease.

Thanks, Tim---It would make life a bit easier to do that!!

Yeah They're Li-Ion so you're actually better to do lots of little charges than less longer ones.

You absolutely don't want to run lithium ion batteries flat. The "memory effect" is only for NiCd. Running a lithium flat too often will kill it early.

I top mine off without letting them go blinky no-more-camera use dead most of the time. I don't charge them "whenever I get a spare moment" ie all the time though.

I charge mine at least once per week whether they need it or not.

Same here. I've always charged mine whenever I get a spare moment, haven't noticed a lifespan decrease.

So do i ... and my advice came from another pro who does the same. So far so good.
