If you leave the batteries in the charger with the mains power turned off then the batteries are probably being drained by the charger. Get new batteries and when flat (only flat not just used or part flat) recharge fully then remove from the charger unit. Rechargeable batteries have a habit of developing a memory as if you recharge a part charged battery then it will only recharge to that flat point
hi right to be honest both ways are correct, but if your using it every day then its best to put it back on the charger after every use, but the problem with this is that the battery never goes totally flat, so never does a full recharge this reduces the life of the battery by upto 50% so if you are using it regular and need it charged daily then its best to once a month let the battery go totally flat so that it wont even make a sound then do a full recharge. Doing this will ensure the battery remains at peak performance and make it last longer.
If how ever your only using it say once a week then its best to only charge after the battery has gone flat due to the fact that it would remain on charge longer and cause the battery to over heat reducing the life span of the battery.
But witch ever method you use always let the battery go totally flat once a month then do full recharge this will prolong the life of the battery and ensure it keeps working at full power.
You may just have two bad batteries, or maybe your charger is bad.
You should have a DC power adapter with the camera, plug that in and see if the camera works longer with it.
You should also have an adapter to use CR02 batteries with the camera. You can buy three of the CR02 batteries at the drugstore (they are NOT rechargeable) and see if the camera works.
If any of these things work, you have bad batterie.
If they don't work, then there is likely some kind of short in the camera and you will need to send it to a service `center or your local camera shop. You might also just take it there and see if they have a known good D70 battery they could try for you.
Unfortunately, a Jump Starting Unit which no longer takes a charge usually means the internal batteries had gone bad. On some charging units, the replacement batteries are available through the manufacturer, but more times than not, it's less expensive to replace the Jump Starting Unit.
You have a couple options. First you can buy lithium batteries, which are a little pricey, but they last a great deal longer in high tech devices such as digital cameras.
Second, you can buy rechargable batteries, which also last alot longer in cameras, and are worth the price because they can be reused!
Rechargeable batteries, do lose their capacity if recharged when partly down- the best way to discribe it is to say they have a memory- but only remember the last bit to be charged.
So put the batteries into a torch or similar and leave on until completely flat and empty- then recharge.
So do that and buy some new batteries - a couple of sets of batteries are best to have any way.
Make sure they are NiMah and the charger accepts NiMah.
Then clean out the contact in the bottom the of the battery chamber with the eraser at the end of a pencil. and the contach on the cap.
Do that first then come back.
Alkaline batteries are a No-No
Rechargeable Ni Cads are little better
The Best are NiMh Rechargables in the AA cell range
or Li-on in the specialist range.
Always get for the best.
Be sure the charger is connected to AC power. USB charging won't work when a battery's really dead. And it may take up to 24 hours, I've read, to get it recharged.
