I知 not really sure what the problem is. The batteries are brand new. The
camera is a Kodak which I致e had since ~1999. The original batteries were
Kodak and came with a Kodak charger. The original batteries actually
lasted with repeated chargings until earlier this year.
When I bought the new batteries I bought Delkin Power 2900mAh batteries,
but I did not buy a new charger. I知 beginning to wonder if the charger is
at fault or inadequate for these batteries. Early this week I charged the
batteries. I needed to take a few pictures of a door frame. I got exactly
3 pictures before the camera shut down due to low battery.
I知 wondering if I should buy a Delkin charger. We actually have two
different Kodak cameras that use the same type of batteries, although the
other camera has lower power requirements. The Delkin batteries I bought
had a higher output rating than the previous Kodak batteries.
I知 in a quandary. I知 also not in a position to replace the camera with
one of equal quality and features.
