But to add to the battery contacts. Also clean out ( off?) the camera's internal contacts for the battery . Use a pink pencil eraser..... Just enough abrasion to clean any schmutz from the contacts. Blow it off when you have cleaned them. Your other choice is not as convenient... Leica Repair.......
