      timothyparksAug 27, 2025
      Your Canon Camcorder battery pack may not charge if the temperature is outside the range of 0 °C and 40°C (32°F and 104°F). In this case, charge the battery pack in temperatures between 0 °C and 40 °C (32°F and 104°F). Also, battery packs become hot with use and may not charge, so wait until the battery pack temperature is below 40 °C (104 °F) and retry charging. Finally, the battery pack may be damaged, so try using a different battery pack.
