Syrjames Posted July 21 Share #61 Posted July 21 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have a SL2-S (Safari) with Firmaware 6.0 Bought the new BP-SCL6 while I did not have the camera with me. Once home, put it in right away... nothiing. I guessed it was fully drained (strange). I put it to charge... Camera green light was blinking. But never stopped blinking after 24h (normally it locks when charged). I took it out, tried it on the camera... nothing. Something I am missing? Thanks folks.

Advertisement Posted July 21 Posted July 21 Hi Syrjames, Take a look here So we have a new battery?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Syrjames Posted July 21 Share #62 Posted July 21 Oh... Extra info. I see now that it does not folllow the same charging pattern as with SCL4. Put 4 on the camera and the green light immediatly starts blinking, at a slow cadence. Put 6 and nothing happens till 10 secs... then the green light starts blinking fast. I guess it means error, and it never charges. Extra info to same problem. My camera does not recognize the 6. Thanks! Jaime Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Support for the BP-SCL6 was added in firmware version 5.2 The latest firmware is 6.0. That's the first thing I would check. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrjames Posted July 24 Share #65 Posted July 24 I wanted to explain how this worked for me: After trying multiple things, and thanks to forum member @LeicaR10 DM advice, I went to the store and tried and then purchased a charger. It is clear now that In-camera charging was not working for a fully dead battery. Also, the new battery had to 'reset' its circuits somehow to be able to be used on the camera. This was achieved by charging it a bit in the charger. Now it charges normally both in camera and with charger. Problem solved 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
