    Solution

    You can check how much the battery pack is charged by checking how the CHG (charge) indicator flashes during charging.



    CHG (charge) indicator showing the remaining charge of the battery

    One flash at 1-second intervals
    The remaining charge of the battery pack is less than 50% of a full charge.

    two flashes at 1-second intervals
    The remaining charge of the battery pack is at least 50% of a full charge.

    Turns off without flashing
    Charging has completed.

    Indications when errors occur

    one flash at 0.5-second intervals
    - Charging has stopped because the compact power adapter or the battery pack is faulty. Consult a Canon Service Center.

    one flash at 2-second intervals
    - The temperature of the battery pack is outside the charging range. If the battery pack’s temperature is below 0 deg C (32 deg F), warm it before charging it; if it is above 40 deg C (104 deg F), let the battery pack cool down before charging it.

    - Charge the battery pack in temperatures between 0 deg C and 40 deg C (32 deg F and 104 deg F).

    - The battery pack is damaged. Use a different battery pack.
