Remove Li-Ion batteries form a JVC camcorder if storing for more than a month.
Some JVC camcorder models use Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) rechargeable batteries to power the unit. Li-Ion batteries can hold a charge for several months, but the batteries last longer if precautions are taken before storing the batteries for a prolonged period. Removing batteries from the JVC camcorder eliminates risk of leakage, which can damage the electronics inside of the camera.
Instructions
1. Slide off the battery cover on the JVC camcorder and remove the Li-Ion battery pack from the compartment.
2. Recharge the battery to at least 50 percent power. The meter on the battery charger indicates the current power percentage. Li-Ion batteries last longer before replacement is required if they are not allowed to fully discharge.
3. Store Li-Ion batteries in a cool, dry location. Do not reinstall into the camera.
4. Insert the battery in the JVC camcorder at least once every two months. Use the camcorder until the charge is less than 20 percent, then recharge the battery to at least 50 percent.
