The Canon XTI (officially known as the Canon Digital Rebel XTI) uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack. The XTI comes with a home-charging kit. To charge the XTI's battery, it must be removed from the camera. Canon recommends charging the battery fully the day before using it. It also recommends removing the battery from the XTI when the camera's not in use to preserve battery power.
Instructions
1. Turn your Canon over to expose its bottom. On the side opposite the display screen, you'll find the battery cover. Slide the lever on the battery cover to open the compartment. Inside the compartment, push the battery-security lever over and lift the battery out.
2. Remove the cover from the battery-charging kit; squeeze the tab on the side to pull it off. Insert the battery into the charging compartment. Line up the contacts on the bottom of the battery with the contacts in the charging compartment. Push the battery down and slide it into place.
3. Turn the charging kit over and flip out its outlet prongs. Plug the kit into a wall outlet to begin charging the battery.
If your charging kit does not have prongs, attach the provided cable to the connection on the charger. Plug the other end of the cable into the wall outlet.
4. Wait for the battery to charge. When the battery is fully charged, the light on the charging kit turns from orange to green. It takes about 90 minutes to recharge a depleted battery. Remove the battery from the charging kit.
5. Reinsert the battery to the Canon's battery compartment. Flip over the security lever to secure the battery and then close the cover.
