Bad battery life has a number of major causes: The primary causes are: Selection of the wrong battery chemistry or type for the camera used Extremely power-intensive use of the camera A damaged battery (probably the least common cause of bad battery life) The way in which the camera is used is at least as important as the battery chemistry selection in influencing battery life. The highest power-usage modes in any digital camera will be video and live preview. Thus, heavy users of these modes will see the shortest battery life. Other significant power consumers are the strobe, zoom motor, fill flash, and the image LCD display. For longer battery life, use these modes only as necessary.

Buttons don't make any sound but can hear dial tone, speaker phone doesn't work, phone dies fairly quickly - would this all be caused by bad battery and what is the life of battery in a Panasonic cordless...
First off, try changeing from tone dial to pulse dial and try calling out. If that does'nt work, touch bad is probly bad. As far as the speaker phone it does not work off battery's it works from the main base which is powered from the A/C. And for the battery life, when you have a cordless phone you have to build the life to the battery, what I mean is : first time you charge it for 12-14 hours, after that use the phone and do not put it back into cradle, the battery will hold a charge for 8 hrs, if you use it for 30 mins and put back on cradle untill next use, use another 30 min and continue doing this the battery will build its life to 30 min and always die after 30 min, try to get into leaveing off cradle all day and charge while you sleep and keep off cradle all day.

My alternator went out saturday, so I bought another on Sunday and put it on without replacing the battery, and that one burned up. So I had another one ordered and I replaced the battery, and I got that...
the problem indicates a faulty voltage regulator or dead short in a wire from the alternator
after the first alternator you should consulted an accredited auto electrician to check the system properly

1992 yamaha fxr 600, will a disconnected horn wire cause the battery not to charge?
Not at all, totally unrelated. On the battery, I would pull it out of the bike totally and charge it to see if it's good or bad. Motorcycle batteries have a pretty short life cycle typically .

My LG Dare has very bad battery life. I can only have very brief phone calls otherwise my phone will die. What may be the problem?
Hi the chances are the battery in the phone has bad cells this causes the battery to seem charged when its actually flat, the only option you have is to replace the battery and that will solve your problem.

when you get a new battery do the following.

every say 6 weeks let the battery go totally flat so that it wont even turn the phone on then do a full charge over night, doing this every six weeks keeps the battery at its best and prevents it from getting any bad cells so doing this will improve the life of the battery.

turning off bluetooth saves the battery as well if this is switched on all the time then this will drain the battery really quick its best you only turn it on as and when needed.

let me know if you need further assistance ok

plz rate this solution as i have a whole page of unrated posts, thanks

2001 Aztec .no running and key problems . first could not remove key now car quit running on the road
If your battery is dead and have less then 10 volts, your engine will not run and your ignition keys will not release until you get the battery boosted to have more then 10 volts. Your alternator may have gone bad and is no longer charging 13 to 14.5 volts or there is a loose connection. A bad Battery will also cause this ti happen when it can no longer hold a charge and your going to have to repalce the battery, A battery has a life of around 4 to 5 years and a bad battery will cause a good alternator go go bad also.

Good luck and have your Alternator and battery tested at Auto Zone, they test free of charge and most likely it's time for a new battery if your battery is older then 5years.

Thank you for using Fixya and Auto Zone also Scan for DTC coders free of charge.

The battery on the j700 will not charge up keeps pausing and saying paused due to battery life what am i doing wrong
Your battery is going bad, it will no longer hold a charge. There is nothing you can do about it but get a replacement.

Battery life can be shortened by excessive draining, and recharging.
Also faulty manufacturing can cause this.

Sorry to hear about your luck, and thank you for choosing Fixya!

Battery life under 5 hours
have you let the battery go totally flat as this is recomended to do every couple of months because if you dont let the battery go totally flat this stops the battery from full recharging and will cause bad cells in the batt so i would let hte battery totally flat till it wont even light phone up then fully charge for 16 hours see if this improves the battery if not then the charger is probably over heating and cutting off so you could replace the charge hope this is some help to you

Pentax IqZoom 700 film camera E9 error shutter failure Hi, I have a pentax iqzoom 700 that I'd like to repair myself but E9 appears on the lcd screen after inserting a new battery and powering on. Other posts mention this is a shutter failure. When turning on, the zoom lens extends and the outer shutter covering the outside of the lens opens. I've read tutorials that say you can sometimes fix a shutter error by causing a power outage during a shot and opening the battery door while taking a picture, but this isn't possible in my case because no shot is fired when the shutter is pressed, likely because the camera recognizes the shutter failure. I've also watched videos on how to repair leaf shutters and mechanical shutters, but the manual for this camera states the shutter is an AE between-the-lens shutter so I have no idea how to disassemble and fix this sort of thing. Looking thru the lens both thru the front of the camera and in the film compartment on the other side show a dark covering behind the lens even while the outer shutter is open covering the outer lens, which I'm assuming is the between-the-lens shutter. Ideally, I'd like to repair this myself, as there's nothing lost if I screw up and it's not worth it otherwise to take it for repair. I'm a complete novice with absolutely no prior knowledge of taking apart things, but I can follow directions so any suggestions or links to videos/tutorials would be very much appreciated Side note that I've searched the web extensively and have yet to find anything specific to repairing this camera model, and I'm not knowledgeable enough to adapt a tutorial for a different camera to this model Thanks in advance!
