The Leica X2 is supplied with the required power by a lithium ion battery (A). 

Caution:
•  Only the type of battery specifi ed and described in these instructions should 

be used. The use of other batteries not approved bei Leica Camera AG can 
cause damage to the battery and/or the camera, and in extreme cases can 
cause an explosion.

•  Defective batteries should be disposed of according to the respective in-

structions (see p. 85) at a collection point to ensure proper recycling.

Attention:
•  This battery may only be used in the units for which it is designed and may 

only be charged exactly as described below.

•  Using this battery contrary to the instructions can under certain circum-

stances result in an explosion.

•  The batteries may not be exposed to sunlight, heat, humidity or moisture for 

long periods. Likewise, the battery may not be placed in a microwave oven 
or a high-pressure container to prevent a risk of fi re or explosion.

• Never throw batteries into a fi re as this can cause them to explode!
•  Humid or wet batteries may not be charged or used in the camera under any 

circumstances.

•  Always ensure that the battery contacts are clean and freely accessible. 

While lithium ion batteries are proof against short circuits, they should still 
be protected against contact with metal objects such as paper clips or jew-
elry. A short-circuited battery can get very hot and cause severe burns.

•  If a battery is dropped, check the casing and the contacts immediately for 

any damage. Using a damaged battery can damage the camera.
