Sony DSC-S70, battery not charging to a full charge

This is a similar problem to #1723418. I have a brand new battery. When I plug in the camera to charge then the camera indicator will show charging and then advise "full". It may take 60 minutes for the "full" indicator to show. Then, when I switch on the camera there are only a few minutes of charge time available. and within 10 minutes the power is gone. Any ideas?

Batteries will lose their charge when not in use. If the battery is stored in the camera, the camera will use power from the rechargeable battery to maintain the time and date settings. This is normal operation for the battery and the camera.
NOTES: Removing the rechargeable battery from the camera when the camera is not in use is recommended. If the camera seems to drain the batteries too quickly even when it is not being used, service may be required .

The fully charged sony batteries run out and the camera shuts off on DSC-S700 Sony digital Camera.

It is possible that the batteries have reduced its capacity to recharge to the full value. Fully discharge and charge and try. If your camera is working fine otherwise , it will be good to buy new batteries. Since the charging procedures for retaining good life for rechargable battery is to do the intial charging for abotu 12-18 hours and let it drain fully before repeating the process at least three times. Try and do it at least once a fortnight so that the battery does not get cells to develop back EMF. Hope you try this out.

Camera won't charge

if you can find someone with a similar camera it should have the same battery so test that out...
if it works fine with the replaced battery then its the old battery thats the problem, if not then the camera is unfortunately broken...

1= Use rechargeable battery cells and must be fully charged.
2= Check battery terminals in camera battery compartment. Must be cleaned and shiny.
3= Sony camera DCS-S600 won't charge batteries through USB cable plugged in PC. You need external battery charger to charge battery cells.

Charging S70 Batteries

Lithium battery is very sensitive to overcharge, so there is a chip inside the battery to take care that for you. You don't need to worry about leaving it overnight.
