SonyCamcorder Battery Care

Batteries are an essential piece of the camcorder technology puzzle. Without important developments in delivering portable electric power in a small package, we'd never have the small, portable camcorders we've come to take for granted today.
For the most part, camcorder batteries are very simple to use and maintain. All you have to know how to do is charge them and how to put them on the camcorder properly, and chances are you'll never have to worry about them. Yet underlying this deceptive simplicity are a few particulars about battery technology you should familiarize yourself with, at least so you'll have the knowledge necessary to make informed purchase decisions when it's time to buy spare batteries for your camcorder. And if you currently only own one battery, that time is probably right now.
we'll be taking a look at four major types of lithium-ion. camcorder battery technology.Armed with this knowledge, you'll be able to make your camcorder batteries last a few years longer.

Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-Ion batteries (sometimes rendered Li-Ion) are the pinnacle of camcorder battery technology. They offer quick charge times, long life, steady discharge characteristics, low weight and small size. A Lithium-Ion battery offers about 40% more charge capacity than a NiCd battery of similar size and weight and can be fully charged in less than half the time. Lithium-Ion batteries do not suffer from the memory effect. As you might have guessed, Lithium-Ion batteries are also the most expensive type of camcorder battery available on the market today.
Unlike the other technologies we have been talking about, you can (and should) keep your Lithium-Ions fully charged: go ahead and top off a battery that is 90% charged back up to 100%. Otherwise, care and handling is the same as with the other batteries (say it with me): Keep Lithium-Ions cool, dry and safe from shock. Be sure to recycle them when they're ready to be discarded.

Battery Terminology
Battery: Two or more electrochemical cells arranged in a series or parallel configuration to provide a given voltage or capacity. In common usage, the term "battery" also refers to single-cell units.
Battery Conditioner: A type of charger that's designed to discharge a battery completely, then slowly charge it back to full capacity in order to eliminate the memory effect associated with some NiCd and NiMH batteries.
Capacity: The total amount of time a battery will discharge at a given rate of wattage or amperage.
Charge: The conversion of electrical energy to chemical energy within a battery.
Memory Effect: An annoying phenomenon that occurs when you partially discharge certain types of batteries repeatedly. This causes the camcorder to shut down before the battery is fully discharged.
