Advertisement Posted December 23, 2006 Posted December 23, 2006 Hi atufte, Take a look here Leica M8 Battery. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
j. borger Posted December 23, 2006 Share #2 Â Posted December 23, 2006 Your not alone Alexander ..... you have to buy a 2nd body to get that 2nd battery at this stage i am afraid. I am also still waiting for mine:o Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrc Posted December 23, 2006 Share #3 Â Posted December 23, 2006 Check Tony Rose at Popflash. I got on a list, and got one from him a couple of weeks. Â JC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venkman Posted December 24, 2006 Share #4 Â Posted December 24, 2006 I can assure you that they actually are produced - I got one, although I waited 2 weeks for it (in germany). Seems that Leica isn't exactly keen on selling accessories right now. Â Apart from that, I am surprised how long a single one lasts - I did 300+ shots with a single one last week, 1 second review and turned off in between shots.

egibaud Posted December 24, 2006 Share #5 Â Posted December 24, 2006 Funny enough, the only thing I have so far is a spare battery, my M8 have not arrived yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simardr Posted December 24, 2006 Share #6 Â Posted December 24, 2006 Speaking of battery, has anyone had a battery that only charged to 75 % of charge all the time ? Will this get better after a few recharge or do I have a bad battery ? Thanks and Happy Holidays all! Roger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
canlogic Posted December 24, 2006 Share #7 Â Posted December 24, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) It should charge to 100%. The first couple of charges it may not last as long as it will after a few cycles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakley Posted December 25, 2006 Share #8 Â Posted December 25, 2006 Man, I wish I had a second battery, even if it would only charge to 75%. I'm thinking of hiring Indiana Jones to find me one.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedpixel Posted December 25, 2006 Share #9 Â Posted December 25, 2006 So far I lucked out. I have 3 batteries, none of which had any issues. Got them from Tony at PopFlash. I wish I had a 4th one, as I go through all of them during a day of shooting. Â Alessandro Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks and Happy Holidays all! Roger Yes, the one I got with the camera has been been only charging to 75% and lasts for about 100 shots , its been used for a month now without change - I hope Leica will replace it.
