Johnwirwin Posted May 7, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 7, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have a new Leica m9 (about 3 months old. Whenever i charge the battery I leave it on the charger for 8-10 hours...both lights are illuminated on the charger) When i replace the battery in the camera and push info, it never shows a complete charge...its very close but still shows a little red in the indicator...any thoughts?

M. Valdemar Posted May 7, 2011 Share #2 Posted May 7, 2011 Try a different battery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overgaard Posted May 7, 2011 Share #3 Posted May 7, 2011 Original Leica M9 batteries has a silver print on the elevated part saying Li-ion BATTERY and that it is for DIGITAL LEICA M-CAMERAS. If it has that, it's an original Leica battery and would usually be 100% (all mine are and all works perfect 100% after 1,5 year). It might be a 3rd party battery?

Jager Posted May 7, 2011 Share #4 Posted May 7, 2011 You might also try running your battery through a couple of full discharge/recharge cycles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnwirwin Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share #5 Posted May 7, 2011 hmmmm....i left it plugged in over night and it finally showed a full charge...strange Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overgaard Posted May 7, 2011 Share #6 Posted May 7, 2011 It's the most complicated piece of the Leica M9 (to understand) ... the battery charger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravastar Posted May 7, 2011 Share #7 Posted May 7, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Out of the five or six Leica batteries I own the latest one, 6 months old, has never shown 100%. There's always a small amount of red on the display. Fully discharging and then charging makes no difference. The other batteries always show 100% after charge. In use the battery is as good as the others and I don't worry about it. ETA: I make HDR/Fused Panoramas so I need the batteries . Bob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
