agrokid Posted September 9, 2013 Share #1 Posted September 9, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm an old guy who hardly ever takes photographs. Maybe once or twice a year. I want quality so I have a Leica D2. But every time I go to use it the battery is flat. It's no use telling me to charge the battery once a month. I always forget, and lithium-ion doesn't like that. Ideally I would be able to put AA batteries in the D2. I keep a stock of those. But AA batteries won't fit. Does anyone have a solution? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted September 9, 2013 Share #2 Posted September 9, 2013 Charging once a month won't harm the battery at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahkai Posted September 9, 2013 Share #3 Posted September 9, 2013 I have the same camera as well. I removed the battery when I am not using the camera, and recharge the battery when I use the camera. I believe you are supposed to charge the battery twice a year, but you are not supposed to store the battery when it's fully charge. At least this is what the instruction manual said for the X Vario's battery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted September 10, 2013 Share #4 Posted September 10, 2013 Ralph - Perhaps if you were to recharge the batter once a month on a day in which something happens every month, such as paying rent on a flat, or receiving a pension check, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
agrokid Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share #5 Posted September 11, 2013 Thank you, everyone. You're all very kind. Unfortunately my brain is starting to fail. Remembering is very hard to do. Eventually you'll find out what it's like. But when I do manage to get it charged the D2 and I can still take some pretty good photographs. When charging fails then my Rollei TLR saves the day, though, with failing eyesight as well, I prefer autoexposure and autofocus of the D2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
