inserted on the Cyber-shot Station.
Charging starts automatically. The CHARGE
lamps of the Cyber-shot Station light up.
Battery level: LOW
Battery level: MIDDLE
Battery level: HIGH
(Normal charge)
*
Recording and playback time with Normal
charge is approximately 90% of Full charge.
• The CHARGE lamps light up from the left.
• The battery level will be displayed in three
levels on the CHARGE lamps of the Cyber-
shot Station while charging the battery pack.
When charging is completed (Full charge),
the CHARGE lamps go off.
After the battery pack is completely used, the
full-charge time of the battery pack is
approximately 230 minutes with the DSC-
N1, and 160 minutes with the DSC-T9 and
the DSC-T5 at the temperature of +25 °C
(+77 °F). It may take longer to charge,
depending on the charging condition and
environment.
– When the camera is turned on, the Cyber-
shot Station stops charging the battery.
• It may take a few seconds to indicate an
accurate battery level.
• In case of the CHARGE lamps fail to light or
blink, refer to "Troubleshooting".
Charging temperature
The temperature range for charging is 0 °C
to +40 °C (+32 °F to +104 °F). However, to
provide maximum battery efficiency, the
recommended temperature range when
charging is +10 °C to +30 °C (+50 °F to
+86 °F).
On battery life
• The battery life is limited. Battery capacity
decreases little by little as you use it more
and more, and as time passes. If the battery
operating time seems shortened
considerably, a probable cause is that the
battery pack has reached the end of its life.
Buy a new battery pack.
• The battery life varies according to how it is
stored and the operating conditions and
environment in which each battery pack is
used.
