Rei, I have been getting very different charging results with the 1700mAh off-brand batteries. At first they would barely charge. Now sometimes I get a full charge. But the next time almost no charge. I have tried disconnecting the charger every time the red light goes off and reconnecting it. This seems to help build up a charge. Before the v1.201 upgrade there were no problems although I only had the camera about six weeks. I have ordered a 2000mAh battery from Adorama in NYC. We will see how this one works. Neil Neil A.
