When I first bout my D70 the sales guy told me to charge the battery overnight b4 use
as it was the first full charge and that it would take a few cycles to reach optimum capacity.

I always fully charge the batteries before bringing them out with me for shooting, although they are not flat yet. Would this shorten the lifespan of the batteries?
charge according to your convenient time lor... My new EL3e first charge only took 1 hour, then the charger LED stop blinking liao,.. then I let it stay there for another 2 hours. Then, put it in D70, fire a few shots, review more photos on D70 LCD, playing around some menu setting, fire another few more shots with different exposure settings. After that, put it back to charger, it took another `20min finish charging.. however I leave it there from 11.30pm till this morning 8.30am ;pxotic said:So what is the recommended duration for charging this new battery?
