I am posting this in anticipation of delivery of a Leica SF 24D flash. Battery type to use is CR123A 3 volts. Does anyone has experience using rechargeable batteries. As I understand most rechargeable batteries do not have similar voltage and is crucial to proper operation of the SF 24D.

Not received my Q yet, but have (perhaps stupidly) already picked up my required accessories, including an extra two official Leica BP DC12 batteries. I was wondering if anyone who already had a Q were already using a third party battery? I was considering from a reputable brand like Duracell (the DRPBLC12). I'm not very concerned about the lower capacity (950 mAh vs 1200), but I am concerned about a third party battery not showing how much power is left via the LCD, which I think is par for the course nowadays. Thoughts or experiences?

Dear fellow sufferers, OK, it's just a minor thing but still: I bought 2 batteries with my M9-P. One charged without flaws but when I tried to charge the other one, both LEDs of the charger were blinking - loading error. So I returned that one to the Leica Store where I bought it. They gave me a new one without debate and I bought 2 additional ones. (Just to get prepared for the Vietnam trip later this year.) Now, when I try to charge these, it's the same loading error in the charger. I put them into the cam, took some photos, put them back into the charger and again: loading er

The M9 manual states (p 106): "A new battery only reaches it's full capacity after it has been fully charged and --by use in the camera -- discharged 2 or 3 times. This discharge process should be repeated every 25 cycles." Does this mean that every 25 cycles I should fully discharge/recharge _once_ or 2-3 times? (Possibly the German version is clearer.) Ordinarily I'd search general information about lithium batteries, but none of the other lithium powered devices I have recommend the 2-3 discharging process for new rechargeable batteries or periodically thereafter. Also, ho

I just was searching all the usual suspects (B&H-Adorama, etc) for a replacement battery for my M9 - seems like everyone is out of stock - does anyone have any experience with any of the non-leica batteries that work with the M8/9 or other suggestions? Thanks
