6. Maintenance and Storage

6.1 General Care

• Keep the battery terminals clean. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe them if necessary.
• Avoid exposing the battery to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or high humidity.
• Do not disassemble, puncture, or drop the battery.
• Use only compatible chargers and devices.

6.2 Storage

• For long-term storage, charge the battery to approximately 50-60% capacity.
• Store the battery in a cool, dry place away from flammable materials.
• If storing for extended periods, periodically check the charge level and recharge to 50-60% every 3-6 months.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 Battery Not Charging

• Check Cable Connection: Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the battery and the power source.
• Verify Power Source: Confirm that the power adapter or USB port is functional and providing sufficient power (5V/2A for USB-C).
• Inspect LED Indicators: Observe the LED indicators on the battery. If no LEDs light up, the battery may be completely depleted or there might be an issue with the charging setup.
• Try Different Charger/Cable: Test with another USB-C cable or a dedicated NP-F charger to rule out faulty accessories.

7.2 Battery Not Powering Device

• Check Compatibility: Ensure your device is compatible with NP-F series batteries and does not require decode functionality (e.g., cameras/camcorders are not supported).
• Verify Battery Charge: Check the LED indicators to confirm the battery has sufficient charge.
• Proper Installation: Ensure the battery is correctly inserted and securely locked into the device's battery slot.
• Clean Contacts: Gently clean the battery terminals and device contacts with a dry, soft cloth.

7.3 Short Battery Life

• Device Power Consumption: High power consumption devices will drain the battery faster. Refer to your device's manual for its power requirements.
• Battery Age/Condition: Over time, all rechargeable batteries experience a decrease in capacity.
• Environmental Factors: Operating in very cold temperatures can reduce battery performance.
• Consider Higher Capacity: If consistently experiencing short runtimes, consider upgrading to a higher capacity NP-F series battery (e.g., NP-F750 or NP-F970) if your device supports it.
