I was having a problem with one of my batteries. I would put it into my camera, and after 10 minutes, it would already be showing low. I kept loosing track of which one it was, and finally the other day I decided to throw it away immediately so it wouldn't fall into my bag pocket with the healthy batteries.
I plugged in my other batteries to the charger that night after throwing the dummy one away. For two different batteries, after 5 seconds, the red light held steady, indicating that it was fully charged. This could not have been the case, as I had used them both a bit throughout the day, and I knew they'd require at least a little bit of charging.
I grabbed Mel's charger and tried it in hers. Through the blinking red lights, the charger indicated that the batteries were oly half full, and I got them up to a full charge on hers.
So after throwing out a battery, it turns out the battery was probably fine, but my charger was broken.
So, off to get a new charger. I know it's pretty basic for the most part, but does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions?
