Precautions for Use of the Nikon EN-EL1 Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
The battery is not charged at the factory. Charge the battery before use. When recharging, the ambient temperature should be in the vicinity of 535C (4195F). The internal temperature of the battery may rise while the battery is in use. If you attempt to recharge the battery while the internal temperature is elevated, the battery will not charge or will charge only partially. Wait for the battery to cool before charging. Do not attempt to recharge a fully-charged battery. Failure to observe this precaution will result in reduced battery performance. If you shake the adapter or touch the battery while the battery is charging, the resulting vibration or static electricity may in very rare instances cause the adapter to indicate that charging is complete although the battery is in fact not yet fully charged. Should this occur, remove the battery and re-insert it into the adapter to continue charging. Should an abnormality or malfunction occur, discontinue use immediately and request repairs from your retailer or Nikon Service Bureau. If the camera is connected while recharging is in progress, turning the camera on will cause the AC adapter to stop charging the battery so that it can supply power to the camera. Recharging will resume when the camera is turned off. Unplug the DC plug from the camera's DC-IN connector. flashes red inserted
