CHARGING THE BATTERY
The Leica X Vario is powered by a lithium ion battery. 

• Only the battery types specifi ed and described in this manual and/

or specifi ed and described by Leica Camera AG may be used in 

this camera.

• Using battery types not specifi ed in these instructions can result in 

an explosion.

• These batteries may only be used in the units for which they are 

designed and may only be charged exactly as described below.

• Using the battery contrary to these instructions can result in 

explosion under certain circumstances.

• The batteries must not be exposed to sunlight, heat, moisture or 

condensation for long periods. To prevent a risk of fi re or explosion, 

batteries must not be placed in a microwave oven or in a high 

pressure vessel.

• Never throw batteries into a fi re as this can cause them to explode!

• Humid or wet batteries must not be charged or used in the camera 

under any circumstances.

• Always ensure that the battery contacts are clean and freely acces-

sible. Whilst lithium ion batteries are proof against short circuits, 

they should still be protected against contact with metal objects 

such as paper clips or jewelry. A short-circuited battery can get 

very hot and cause severe burns.
