Another battery question

When you dont use your camera for a while do you remove the battery? Or is it ok to leave the battery in there?

you suppose to remove any battery from electronic devices to prevent battery drain. I always remove it when I take my camera home. I never leave my battery in flashlight, camera, speedlite. you wear out the batter faster if you leave it in the camera.

It’s not supposed to matter with Li-on batteries, that’s their strong suit.

so leaving the battery in should not do any damage?

There is no harm in leaving in a battery in the camera even for extended periods. There is always a slight risk that it might leak, but Li-ion batteries are less likely to do so than the older ones. Of course, there is no harm in removing it either.....unless you forget to put it back in the next time you go out to shoot.

I leave my batteries installed unless I am going to store the device indefinably. The battery drain is negligible and leakage is not likely if the device is used even once a week. IMHO.

I only take my battery out when it is drained. If you have your clock and date set then you would need to reset it if you take it out for very long. Now if you dont plan on using it for a long time then take them/it out.
