[QUOTE="Mister Bumbles, post: 386399, member: 34301"] Good morning @[URL="http://nikonites.com/member-13196-hark.html"]hark[/URL].. we charged James' new Nikon battery with his new Nikon charger. Gave it the night on the charger. Popped it in his camera this morning, it says 98 percent, just like mine. Why is it that the Watson is the only one that says 100 (albeit, after showing 78 percent the first time it was switched on)? Also, just noticed that you asked if we charged *MY* battery in his charger. No, that we did not. His was still in it when we went to sleep. I'm letting my Nikon battery sit on my desk for a bit to see if it discharges randomly. My battery managed to lose 3 percent of it's charge in the last 8 hours in a camera that was turned off. Not sure if that's the camera's fault, or the battery's fault. Kind of a frustrating experience after shelling out $2400. :( My next experiment... I'm placing the fully charged Watson battery into the D610 body and will let it sit for a while and see if it loses any life. At time of insertion, it still shows a 100 percent charged. If it does lose charge, something is up with my camera. If it doesn't, it indicates that the Nikon battery is bad. [/QUOTE]
