Q2 Battery life

[Marc B-C]

Advertisement (gone after registration)

My Q2 is approx 3 months old and I have two new batteries. Due to work etc I have not used it much at all - the batteries have had perhaps 2 cycles each. I leave one in the camera all  the time.

Having just come back from a week away with two fully charged batteries, I note that the one in the camera is now down to two bars. I only used the camera for one day, approx 10 photos last Monday and the camera was not touched since then until today?

Should the batteries drain like this? I used to have this problem with my Fuji X-T3 but not with the X100F.

Any views on this?

any chance that battery wasn't fully charged when you put it in? i've been delighted with battery life and due to leica all being out to lunch and the mailroom person  designing the on/off switch and indicator (same thing with the cl) , i've left mine on accidentally for days with no perceptible reduction in battery life.

Both batteries were charged with the official Leica charger,  to the point where both orange and green lights were solid. I assume that is fully charged? No drain from the second battery not in the camera.
