I had a similar experience with my first battery, the life seemed not to have changed but the indicator did not show full on a re-charged battery. I followed the Leica instructions on the web to re-calibrate the battery to the charge indicator and all has been well since, probably about 12 months. cheers, Frank On 26 May, 2009, at 22:52, Marty Deveney wrote: > I have three Leica batteries and five of the eBay third party ones. > My original Leica one now only shows two bars on the camera when I > fully charge it and put it in, but I seem to get about the same number > of shots.
