BernardC Posted July 1 Share #21 Posted July 1 Advertisement (gone after registration) It should go without saying that the main difference between a failed Leica charger and a failed Samsung/Apple charger is that the Leica charger is worth fixing. The underlying faults are similar, and they happen to companies big and small. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I cannot even buy a replacement, I would try to repair it by all means. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any useful insight infos? Most people here would like to hear it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hans-Dieter Gülicher Posted July 2 Share #25 Posted July 2 No problems with my S 3 since March 2021. I use two batteries usually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben446 Posted October 16 Share #26 Posted October 16 Leica S3 batteries are draining (phantom draw) while camera is off. Batteries have been 'reset' as described above in this thread. Takes about a week to fully draw down a battery while left in camera. Outside of camera, will lose only about 0 -1 bar. Anyone experience the same thing? No issue at all with same battery in 007.

Anyone else has experienced this? Yes. Happened to me earlier this week. On the camera top display, 75% full but then warning on the back screen that I need to change the battery. I ignored the warning. After a few more shots, camera dead (it worked with the second battery). I charged the battery but have not yet inserted it again.
