jaapv Posted June 21, 2010 Share #2 Posted June 21, 2010 They are unavailable right now, but Leica is working hard on it. There are some members who had their batteries reconditioned by specialist firms. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyp Posted June 25, 2010 Share #6 Posted June 25, 2010 Yes- they are. So glad to hear, I've 'bitten the bullet' and have a DMR on it's way to me. It's supplied with one battery, so I definitely want a spare. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenerrolrd Posted July 1, 2010 Share #8 Posted July 1, 2010 I suggest three ! I would completely agree with more than two. If you had a brand new DMR battery you might get 200 images before it gets low. But most DMR batteries are getting old ..my originals barely hold a charge for 100 captures. The DMR is also very sensitive to a low battery or dirty contacts (see old threads on the DMR) ....nothing that you can t deal with but you don t want to be running the battery down to the last shot . For the past few years the batteries have always come in batches ..available for a month and then out of stock. I buy two everytime they come out ..if you don t need them just wait until they go out of stock and sell them . Has anyone figured out how to test the batteries ..on my Nikon I can get a diagnostic that shows how much life the battery has left. I ve been told they have to be tested under normal load .

guidowi Posted July 1, 2010 Share #9 Posted July 1, 2010 3 batteries and 2 chargers. The charger is so easy to fail. My first charger dead killing a connected battery after some not fully charged batteries. Another DMR battery problem is the very short battery end alarm and together with the low actuation number are both a nightmare. I did a Job in a theatre two weeks ago with my EOS 1 DS III with the power consumption of autofocus and stabilizer and after more than 1000 actuations the battery was still good !!! In this way a couple of batteries are more than enough. Also Canon gives a battery diagnostic test under normal camera load. Guido Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
