I’m not really sure what the problem is. The batteries are brand new. The
camera is a Kodak which I’ve 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’m 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’m 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’m in a quandary. I’m also not in a position to replace the camera with
one of equal quality and features.
