[QUOTE="PavementPilot, post: 19191, member: 4024"] My second battery arrived today. I charged it up and had my original fully charged. I loaded both and set the Live View on, and recorded 10 segments of video. After 100 minutes (10 X 10 minute clips) the battery indicator went red and showed 1/3. I stopped at this point and turned the camera off. I pulled the right battery and turned the camera back on to check left battery. It showed 2/3. Camera off, and pull left, load right, and camera on. This one showed 2/3. Pulled the grip and inserted into camera direct. Both showed full batteries. Regripped, loaded both batteries and now it shows full charge. Pulled the batteries and put on charger, one at a time. Both took the same charge, and the time was about equal to what a 2/3 battery needs to charge to full. I dont know what to make of this. I guess to refesh the battery level, I would need to turn off and pull the batteries and reinsert. This is something I will be watching and working on. [/QUOTE]
