[QUOTE="Mister Bumbles, post: 386545, member: 34301"] I do realize that the 900-shot battery life claimed by Nikon could be over estimating it. BUT, most people that I know that use a D610 get 800-900+ shots from each battery charge. My problem was that my camera lost battery life just sitting in the bag while TURNED OFF, overnight. 3 percent of my battery went *PFFT* into the ether while nothing was running. That shouldn't happen. I had used my camera for a few days after I got it, and only managed to get 225 shots on a complete charge. 225 shots is nowhere near a good number. *THAT* is why I'm concerned and running the tests suggested by Nikon and B&H. :rolleyes: I have spare batteries that I can carry, sure. But if I'm only going to get 225(ish) shots from these batteries that should get WAY more, then I'd have to carry a pocket load of batteries every where I went, and that doesn't work for me. It's obvious that something is wrong in either the charger, the batteries, or the camera. But, because I'm using 1 Nikon battery, and one Watson battery and BOTH are discharging rapidly, it's looking like the camera itself is discharging the batteries for no reason. I just spent $2400 on new gear, so I'm *going* to be a LITTLE picky at first, but only because I KNOW that the equipment *should* be getting better battery longevity than that, and it should not discharge my battery so quickly if everything is turned off. ;) [/QUOTE]
