The battery for the Canon SD870 camera can be charged using any electrical outlet.
Cameras with rechargeable batteries normally charge one of two ways. Either an adapter is attached directly to the camera and then plugged into a power outlet, or the battery is removed from the camera and charged separately. The Canon SD870, a compact digital camera designed for the casual photographer, is one of the former types. A battery charger comes with the camera that is capable of providing a full charge to the included lithium-ion battery within about two hours.
Instructions
1. Slide and pull to open the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the camera.
2. Press the small white battery lock outwards then pull the battery out of the camera.
3. Insert the battery into the battery charger, making sure the two triangles match up to indicate proper placement.
4. Pull up to release the plug prongs on the charger.
5. Plug the charger into a power outlet.
6. Unplug the charger once a green light indicates the charging is complete. This should take just over two hours.
7. Remove the battery from the charger by pulling straight up on its right side.
8. Insert the battery into the battery slot on the bottom of the camera. Push until it clicks into place.
