When I was using the D60 I could take well over 600 shots with one battery, including checking them on the screen and some flash use.
Since I moved to the D5100 Im finding that I can probably only get 2-300 shots before it dies. I replaced the original charger for an non branded one as the original ones mostly seemed to have faults including mine which wouldnt even charge the battery (it was out of warranty). I checked the output voltage for the charger and it was good. I bought a spare battery - non nikon brand, but neither the original nor the replacement last any longer than the other.
I dont use live view generally and dont often check the imgages on screen for more than a few seconds. So whats going wrong? Any advice welcomed please.
