[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 609201, member: 10543"] This post is sort of off topic, but I didn't know where else to post it. My wife has at a concert the other night with her Nikon Coolpix P100 and needed to swap batteries (takes an EN-EL5 I think), except she couldn't get the spent battery to fully eject. Rather than pry or force something, she wisely put the camera away. Both batteries used in rotation are Nikon brand and have been used reliably for many years. Upon arriving home, she took a pair of needle nose pliers and gripping the battery end, wiggled it out. To her amazement, the battery had a slight lump in the center which had never appeared before. This slightly expanded the battery and wedged it in place. All is well, the failed battery is out and the new is in and all is well, but it was an odd event. Not sure what could have caused such a thing to happen. [/QUOTE]
