How to Charge Video Camera Batteries

• There are so many different kinds of gadgets with rechargeable batteries these days that it pays to learn how to charge the batteries correctly. When you charge the battery on your video camera be sure to follow these guidelines
• Determine what kind of battery you have. Different types of batteries have different properties, and thus have different needs for charging and recharging. Take the battery out of the camera and look for writing on it that tells you what kind of battery it is
• Charge nickel based batteries for a minimum of 12 hours before using them for the first time. Nickel based batteries need a full charge the first time they are put on the charger or you may not get the full battery life out of them when you use your video camera. You will probably not cause permanent damage to your battery, but it is best to prepare it properly the first time
• Let nickel based batteries run down completely once in awhile. While you don't need to drain your battery every time you charge it, you should let it drain completely once in awhile to prevent the shortening of your charge time
• Take nickel based batteries off the charger as soon as they are fully charged. If you leave the battery on the charger after it has completed, your video camera battery could become damaged
• Do not charge Lithium batteries when you first use them. Lithium batteries come partially charged so you can use them right away. If you want to make sure your battery lasts for a long time on your video camera when you use it for the first time it is perfectly okay to give it a full charge. There is no minimum time needed for charging for the first time. Lithium batteries really don't have the battery life issues that nickel batteries do; you can charge them whenever it is necessary, and it is fine if you leave the battery on the charger after it is charged
• Keep a spare battery. You don't want to find yourself without a fully charged backup battery when your video camera battery dies. Keep a spare on hand that is fully charged for those priceless moments

Camera Battery Problems

• Digital cameras can be powered by a number of differently constructed power cells, using different metals to store their charge. Due to the high power drain of digital cameras, many batteries will struggle to provide performance and value
• Alkaline Batteries
• Disposable alkaline batteries are designed to deliver full capacity to devices that consume power slowly. Digital cameras use high-drain components such as flash units and LCD screens, which consume power at a much faster rate than these batteries were designed for. Often batteries that appear depleted from use in a digital camera will continue to function in devices that use less power

Lithium Batteries

• Unlike alkalines, lithium batteries function much better in digital cameras as they are able to deliver high volumes of power over a longer duration. This type of battery can be expensive in comparison to alkalines, and no lithium batteries support recharging. Lithium batteries are not the same as lithium-ion rechargeables found in many digital SLR cameras and MP3 players
• Rechargeable Batteries
• There are two common types of rechargeable AA cell batteries: nickel metal hydride (NiMH) and nickel-cadmium (NiCd). NiMH batteries--if left unused--will discharge over time, so it is always best to charge these immediately before use. NiCd batteries suffer from a "memory effect," which requires them to be fully discharged before recharging to ensure they retain their maximum capacity

Prevention

• The greatest source of power drain on a digital camera is the LCD screen. To prolong battery life, digital cameras often allow a user to disable image review features so that this element is used as little as possible. With the LCD screen disabled, it is possible to take up to five times more photos before replacing or recharging your batteries

NOTE:

• Do not connect improperly
• Do not dispose of in fire or expose to excess heat
• Do not crush, puncture, Incinerate or short circuit external contacts
• It is always important to remove disposable alkaline batteries before storing a device for a prolonged period to reduce the chance of leakage. Lithium, NiCD and NiMH cells no not suffer from this problem, but these too should always be safely disposed of or recycled

Charging and discharging:

Diagram of the charging of a secondary cell battery

• During charging, the positive active material is oxidized, producing electrons, and the negative material is reduced, consuming electrons. These electrons constitute the current flow in the external circuit. The electrolyte may serve as a simple buffer for ion flow between the electrodes, as in lithium-ion and nickel-cadmium cells, or it may be an active participant in the electrochemical reaction, as in lead-acid cells.
• The energy used to charge rechargeable batteries usually comes from a battery charger using AC mains electricity. Chargers take from a few minutes (rapid chargers) to several hours to charge a battery. Most batteries are capable of being charged far faster than simple battery chargers are capable of; there are chargers that can charge consumer sizes of NiMH batteries in 15 minutes. Fast charges must have multiple ways of detecting full charge (voltage, temperature, etc.) to stop charging before onset of harmful overcharging.
• Rechargeable multi-cell batteries are susceptible to cell damage due to reverse charging if they are fully discharged. Fully integrated battery chargers that optimize the charging current are available.
• Attempting to recharge non-rechargeable batteries with unsuitable equipment may cause battery explosion.
• Flow batteries, used for specialised applications, are recharged by replacing the electrolyte liquid.
• Battery manufacturers' technical notes often refer to VPC; this is volts per cell, and refers to the individual secondary cells that make up the battery. For example, to charge a 12 V battery (containing 6 cells of 2 V each) at 2.3 VPC requires a voltage of 13.8 V across the battery's terminals.
• Non-rechargeable alkaline and zinc-carbon cells output 1.5V when new, but this voltage gradually drops with use. Most NiMH AA and AAA batteries rate their cells at 1.2 V, and can usually be used in equipment designed to use alkaline batteries up to an end-point of 0.9 to 1.2V.

Reverse charging:

• Subjecting a discharged cell to a current in the direction which tends to discharge it further, rather than charge it, is called reverse charging; this damages cells. Reverse charging can occur under a number of circumstances, the two most common being:
• When a battery or cell is connected to a charging circuit the wrong way round.
• When a battery made of several cells connected in series is deeply discharged.
• When one cell completely discharges ahead of the rest, the live cells will apply a reverse current to the discharged cell ("cell reversal"). This can happen even to a "weak" cell that is not fully discharged. If the battery drain current is high enough, the weak cell's internal resistance can experience a reverse voltage that is greater than the cell's remaining internal forward voltage. This results in the reversal of the weak cell's polarity while the current is flowing through the cells[3][4]. This can significantly shortens the life of the affected cell and therefore of the battery. The higher the discharge rate of the battery needs to be, the better matched the cells should be, both in kind of cell and state of charge. In some extreme cases, the reversed cell can begin to emit smoke or catch fire.
• In critical applications using Ni-Cad batteries, such as in aircraft, each cell is individually discharged by connecting a load clip across the terminals of each cell, thereby avoiding cell reversal, then charging the cells in series
