You mean draining entirely? Just how much did it seem to drain? I have left the camera untouched for a few days but haven’t noticed anything drastic like this though.. I may have lost a battery bar but that’s it.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without this I didn‘t see battery drains with may SL2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

helged Posted May 19, 2021 Share #9  Posted May 19, 2021 Based on experience with SL and SL2 (essentially since the cameras started shipping), I have left the batteries in the cameras for weeks - with the cameras switched off - without noticeable change in the charging level (likely some drop, but too little to be noticed). Would be interesting to know the reason for decharged batteries! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cirke Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share #11 Â Posted May 19, 2021 Thanks now Bluetooth and Wakeup are off Ill see in a few days 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photoworks Posted May 19, 2021 Share #12 Â Posted May 19, 2021 I have noticed too, that 1/3 was gone overnight, I have BT off and know why. I have started to take out the battery just the klick. when I will start the shoot I will push it back in. Â I have noticed strange battery drain behavior with the battery grip. I had my longest day shoot with 4600 photos on one camera. The internal battery was going down quicker then the grip battery. It resulted in changing batteries all the time by taking off the grip. Normal the battery in the grip should drain before using much on internal battery power.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cirke Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share #13  Posted May 19, 2021 It’s not normal when the camera is off the battery should not change or very slowly 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted May 19, 2021 Share #14 Â Posted May 19, 2021 I would ask for advice from Leica if I were you. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffry Abt Posted May 19, 2021 Share #15  Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) My SL2 will drain the batteries down to nothing even with the camera turned off. So if I don’t plan on using the camera for a day or so I simply remove the battery. A bit of inconvenience…  (My batteries don’t drain down outside of the camera.) Edited May 19, 2021 by Jeffry Abt Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeicaR10 Posted May 20, 2021 Share #19  Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) Cirke,  I had a similar problem with a former S007 camera.  I sent it back to Leica with a good description of the issue and both batteries.  The result, one defective Leica battery and a board component.  Both battery and component replaced...no charge.  You might consider doing the same.  r/ Mark Edited May 20, 2021 by LeicaR10 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
