Problems with rechargeable batteries

[trial_07]

My rechargeable batteries suddenly do not provide enough power for my camera. They've worked for nearly a year now. Even though they are "no memory" batteries, I emptied them completely with my CD-Player and I recharged them, but still not enough for my camera. So are the batteries cooked or is the charger not working right? Thanks!

I doubt anyone could solve that problem without looking at your batteries/charger. Play around with it, and figure some stuff out for yourself, that's always fun.

Those rechargeable batteries do not last forever. I take about 3000 pics a year for work and that about does it for the batteries.

I got the Sony Lithium Ion batteries, not sure of the specifications. But we've filled up the memory stick(512mb) approximately once a month for two years, and the batteries still work like new.

Can I buy new rechargeable batteries and recharge them in the same charger? Thanks!

I've played with them enough, without success, that is why I'm asking for help.

yes, get the same type and youll be all set. heck i've recharged regular batteries a half dozen times before, careful on that though , i should put that in the "things you learned over the years" thread :think:

When you say the same type, what do you mean? The same brand?

 

[ellandoh]

lithium ion..........nickel cadmium...........etc

also, the charger may say on it what types its compatible with , if not , get the type you have been using

Then you've come to your conclusion to buy new ones.

Thank you so much!

Holy crap, Trial! That's your 39th post today. Do you have a life outside DRN? Lol, that's insane man.

Are you serious? How do you check that! I've had only one course on my schedule today and nearly no homework. So a lot of free time. I'm in an apartment living with my father during the week. My dirtbike is 200 kms away at my mother's where I live during the week-end. So yeah I spend most of my free time on DRN during the week.

Didn't need a life story, just pointing out post a heck of a lot more than any other person I've seen.

Oups...I thought you wanted a life story.
