SOURCE: My Canon powershot G9 rechargeable lithium battery build in

It sounds more like the camera has a short which is what would more commonly drain a battery. There's a common issue as you're describing on the G9 for this exact issue. Try this site: www.camerasandparts.com They only deal with service for the canon powershots and they are quite familiar with the problem you are experiencing. I'm sure they can help you with this problem.

Battery exhausted even after charging.

There are two possibilities. First, rechargeable batteries do not last forever. Take out your rechargeable batteries and replace them with non-rechargeable ones for test purposes. If your camera works ok, it may be that the camera's charger circuit has gone bad. Try charging your batteries on an external charger. If they charge, it is your camera's charger, if they do not hold a charge, it is probably time for new rechargeable batteries.

Digital Camera Problem - Shutting Off - Lens Not Retracting ?

If your digital camera shuts off sporadically or begins to malfunction, the fix could be as simple as replacing your batteries!

I was using AA rechargeable batteries when my camera starting acting up. My husband suggested that the batteries might be bad. While they were not new, they had only taken about 20 recharges over the years. I mistakenly thought they'd last for hundreds of charges despite age. As it turns out, rechargeable batteries have a shelf life.

Also, I had been storing my rechargeable batteries in the camera between uses. Remember, it is wise to remove any type of battery from the device if it will not be used for an extended period. This should help to extend the life cycle of your batteries.

Result: Upon installation of new, freshly-charged rechargeable batteries, my camera worked perfectly.

The light on the end of the dock stays red. Battery when recharged turns green. When placed back on the dock, then the light goes back to red.

Turn your camera on and look at the battery life after you had it charging for a while. your rechargable batteries may be bad or getting bad. Try trading out the rechargeable batteries or try plugging in your charger on a different outlet at home

Bought used ixy 10.0 mega pixels 3x15 zoom lens no instruction manuel. Battery is dead. can i recharge battery or must i replace...what is required...is manual available

If you have the IXY 1000, you can download a manual here (the US version is the SD900). The battery is a Canon proprietary battery, and there is a recharger available from Canon to charge the battery, The specific charger you need will depend on where you live -- different countries have different standard voltages and connector plugs.

Lens comes out, then retracts after charging.

If this camera has a rechargeable battery in it You Will Have to Get a new battery for it(Your Description indicates a Bad Battery Cell). If it uses AA Rechargeable Batteries they will Need to Be Replaced.

Digital still camera

Hey rolvnetr,
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S700 Digital Camera should be powered by 2 AA batteries. There are 3 main varieties of AA batteries which are Alkaline, Lithium, and rechargeable NiMH batteries. I prefer Lithium batteries, but rechargeable batteries are also nice but once they start losing their charge it goes fast so have a backup set. You should be able to buy any of these batteries at most retailers, and of course our Best Buy™ stores carry these batteries.

Sincerely,
Allan
Go Ahead. Use Us.

Help with s630 Digital Camera

Rechargable batteries actually do not recharge the 100 times advertised. After maybe 10 times they are reduced in capacity noticably. For instance, new alkaline batteries will last me maybe 60 pictures, however the rechargables are only good for about 5. To test this try taking out the batteries, and put back in before you wish to try them, also turn off the flash if it is not needed.(flash uses a lot of power)

Won't turn on

possible problems: 1) battery charger is bad and isn't actually charging the battery. Test by charging on another charger if possible. 2) batteries are bad and are not actually recharging. test by using other batteries if possible. 3) batteries are not making contact properly inside the camera. Test by cleaning connections of the batteries and the camera. See if orienting the camera one way or another will allow it to turn on. Generally fiddle with it. 4) other, unknown, internal camera problem. Contact Panasonic service.
