Summary: The first thing to do when purchasing a new DV camera is to remove the rechargeable battery that the DV comes with and charge it. How to charge the camera battery? There are also many things to pay attention to when using camera batteries, so that the camera batteries can "extend their life". 1. DV camera battery charging time
Battery charging time cannot be generalized, because the battery capacity is different, charging current is different, etc. , which will affect the charging time. Digital cameras all come with their own charger. There is a charging status indicator on the charger. For example, when the battery is first placed for charging, the indicator light will turn on when the battery is charged to a certain level. The indicator light will change color or turn off. The batThe battery is almost fully charged at this time, but it will take longer to fully charge. Large capacity batteries also take a long time to charge. In my experience, if there are two batteries to charge, charge the smaller battery first, then the larger battery. You can fall asleep while charging the larger battery. recharged in the morning.
2. DV camera batteries can be charged at any time
Early cameras generally used nickel batteries. If this type of battery is charged for too long, the liquid in the battery will crystallize. , preventing charging. The device is fully charged. It must therefore be fully charged or discharged regularly. Today's digital cameras use lithium batteries. We can charge the batteries at any time and at our convenience. There is no need to worry like nickel batteriesL. There is no need to recharge the lithium battery every time it is completely used up and cannot be turned on.
3. The lifespan of lithium batteries in DV cameras
There are many opinions on the lifespan of lithium batteries. For example, lithium batteries can only be charged 300 to 500 times. must be replaced. The correct statement should be that the lifespan of a lithium battery is related to the number of charging cycles completed and has no direct relationship with the number of charging cycles. A simple understanding of the term "charging cycle" refers to the process in which all of the battery's energy is used from full to empty and then charged from empty to full. Therefore, the number of recharges is not equivalent to the actual battery charge cycle. For example, a single charge cycle of a lithium battery can be used by the camera for 10 hours (nNote that this is a charge cycle and not a single charge). After 3 hours of actual use, the battery was then fully charged; , it was used for another 5 hours. It was fully charged again, even though it was charged twice at that time, the total battery charge time was only 8 hours for a 10 hour charge cycle. after 2 hours of use for the third time, it has just completed its first charge cycle.
Just like you are designated to drink a glass of beer. If you drink a third of the glass and then refill it, that doesn't mean you've finished the glass, whether you have beer or not. your glass is full, you drink it in one go. For a third of a cup, it takes three glasses to complete the designated task, which is “one cycle.” Therefore, the correct lifespan of a lithium battery should be 300 to 500 charge cycles.
4. Le number of charging times of the lithium battery of the DV camera
Actually, with the above explanation, it makes no sense to talk about the total number of charging times of the DV camera. However, each time the lithium battery completes a charging cycle, the total capacity will be reduced a little, the amount of reduction depends on the quality of the battery. Typically, high-quality batteries retain 80% of their original power after being charged several times. For example, they can reach the upper limit of 500 charge cycles. This is why many lithium batteries are still used as usual after two or three charging cycles. years ; those of lower quality The charging cycle of lithium batteries can reach the lower limit at the maximum, such as 300 times or less, so this type of battery will give people the feeling that it is more and more "more and more more unusable ». In any case, the lithium battery used in DV cameras will eventually need to be replaced when its lifespan comes to an end.
If a high quality lithium battery has a charge cycle of 500 times and we charge it every half of the time, it can be charged a total of 1000 times. Therefore, the lifespan of a lithium battery is related to the total charge capacity of the battery and has nothing to do with the number of charges. The impact on lithium battery life is not much different from recharging the lithium battery after use. discharged or charging as it is used. Therefore, the lithium battery used in DV cameras is mainly for convenience. You don't need to worry about affecting the life of the lithium battery when using it.
5. Precautions for using lithium batteries of cDV cameras
First of all, do not use or charge lithium batteries in an environment above 35°C, and do not store batteries in places where the temperature is too high ; secondly, if lithium batteries are used in low temperature environments, such as below 4°C, the battery life will be reduced and the battery may not be charged in low temperature environments; are not used frequently, it is best to recharge them every month. Perform one charge cycle for the lithium battery, that is, deep discharge and deep charge once.
6. Cleaning the DV Camera Lithium Battery
Many people don't pay much attention to cleaning the battery and think that it is not important. But in fact, if the contact points on both ends of the battery and inside the battery coverare not clean enough, it will easily cause the battery to lose power. Therefore, you should clean the battery and charger frequently. Before using the battery, please use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the contact points on both ends of the battery to keep the contact points as clean as possible. When it is found that the battery electrodes are oxidized, the oxides should be carefully wiped off: in case of significant oxidation and peeling, the battery should be replaced with a new one in time.
7. DV Camera Lithium Battery Storage
If you leave the battery on the DV for a long time without using it, it may cause the battery to leak and damage the DV itself. Therefore, if you do not use the DV for a long time, you should remove the battery from the DV, discharge it completely and store it in a dry and cool place,away from ordinary metal objects. To avoid short circuiting, store it in a protective case when not in use. Use particular caution when storing fully charged batteries, especially when placing them in purses, pockets, handbags, or other containers containing metal objects.
8. Charging the lithium battery of the DV camera for the first time
Can the Ouda DV machine be equipped with ordinary batteries?
Well, just take out the battery. lithium battery Directly short circuit the positive and negative polesOkay, don't worry about these protection circuits. The protective components may not be able to be restored (you need to distinguish the positive and negative poles), and it will take a long time to use. Anyway, the charger also has protection. , charge it first for two uhres and load it how many times. The next time you charge for a long time, it will be fully charged, so you can use it again. Let me first say that I've tried other people's ones. When mine was finished it was a bit broken and unsightly.
No. The battery of Ouda DVD player is NP-40 lithium battery or 4 AAA batteries. Using other ordinary batteries will cause the DVD player to not work and cannot be installed. The Ouda DV player is a flash memory digital camcorder. Compared with DV tape or optical disk memory, DV flash memory undoubtedly has lower price and faster storage speed.
