Precautions Concerning Counterfeit CASIO Rechargeable Lithium Ion Batteries

Jul.2009
Recently, there have been a number of counterfeit rechargeable lithium ion batteries on the market that are similar in design and configuration to batteries for CASIO digital cameras. Since use of a counterfeit battery can cause the serious performance and safety problems described below, use of only genuine CASIO rechargeable lithium ion batteries is strongly recommended.
Counterfeit batteries may not be equipped with adequate safety circuitry, which creates the risk of bursting, fire, smoke emission, leaking, battery deterioration, and low output.
Counterfeit batteries may be slightly larger than normal, which makes it impossible to load them into the camera.
Note that CASIO will not be held liable in any way for any problems with the camera or any accidents caused by the use of a counterfeit CASIO lithium ion battery.
