The Nikon Coolpix S230 digital camera uses a slim, lightweight lithium ion (Li-Ion) removable battery that allows for approximately 160 shots before a recharge is required. The S230 pack includes a Li-Ion battery charger that's simple and fast to use.
Instructions
1. Place the battery for your Nikon S230 camera into the battery charger compartment using your fingers. The battery compartment is on top of the charger unit and is the same size as the battery, which is about 2 inches by 3 inches and slim; it resembles a cell phone battery. There are metal contacts at one end of the battery compartment, so ensure the contacts on the end of the battery line up with the contacts on the charger. The battery only fits one way, so you won't get it wrong.
2. Use the wire that came with your Nikon S230 charger to connect to the charger unit and the power supply. The wire has a regular three-pin plug on one end, the same as you find on most electrical devices in your home. The plug on the other end is a small molded plastic unit. Insert the small plug into the charger socket on the side of the battery charger. Push it in place using your fingers. Insert the plug on the opposite end of the wire from the charger unit into the power supply socket.
3. Turn on the power supply using the wall socket switch, if it has one. If not, then electricity is already going to your charger unit. Turn on your battery charger by sliding the switch on top of the charger to the On position. An LED light illuminates to indicate your Nikon battery is charging.
4. Let the battery charge until the light changes color; it starts off red and turns green, once charging is complete. The battery takes between 30 and 60 minutes to charge, depending how discharged it is.
5. Turn off the charger by sliding the switch to the Off position. Remove the battery from the charger using your fingers. Pry out one end, then lift the battery out of the battery compartment. Put the charged battery back into your camera.
