I need a new NB-L10A rechargable battery for my Kenwood DMC-J7R. Any suggestions?

You can try a new battery or make sure the older one is getting charged by the camera. Remember the camera needs to be in the "OFF" position when you try to charge it.

You don't. The DMC-LS6 uses standard AA batteries, either disposables or rechargeables. If you use rechargeable batteries then you must charge them outside the camera using a separate charger. AA rechargeables and chargers should be available at just about any department, electronics, or office-supply store.

Rechargeable battery have a limited number of recharging cycles so it may be that you require a new battery. If it is a fairly new camera I would take the camera back to the shop and ask for a replacement battery.

Hi,

My suggestion would be to try with new set of battery.

You can also try this.
Remove the battery and clean the contacts between the camera and battery and insert it. Sometimes tapping the camera on the palm 3-4 times bit gently too fixes the problem.

A quick look on Cnet reviews says the specs for battery and power are:

Power

• Power Device Battery charger - External

Battery

• Supported Battery Canon NB-4L
• Supported Battery 1 x Canon NB-4L Li-ion rechargeable battery ( Included )

An NB-4L battery charger is what you need to charge the battery for that model. My Canon charger is a small box with fold out wall socket prongs and a mount for my battery to slip into.


This looks like a Generic version sold on eBay, that includs a Euro/mexico Socket adapter.

How old is your rechargeable battery? Keep in mind the battery is only meant to last for a couple years max. It might be time for a new battery. Also, there are many inexpensive generic versions of the NB-3L battery that you can purchase these days. Here's one example from Amazon. There are many more there, just type NB-3L in the search block. Remember to read the user reviews.

Did the battery fully recharge? Recharge it again mean while keep the camera switched of. If the memory card is removable try it in a card reader. If this problem persists it may be a camera electrical fault In which case contact Panasonic customer support
