Crazy EN-EL 15

Perfectly good battery less than 12 month old suddenly goes from (battery information screen) from "new" to 4 in red.
Showing 100% charge ....a long charge did no put it right but a 1 hr discharge at 0.5A to 55 % capacity and then a charge made it show new again....bloody electronics inside these things is a pain.
Just thought you might like to know in case you get this ..save you $100 .....

You know of the recall they have on some of the EN-EL 15 batteries, right? It's on Nikon's site. Maybe your's is in the recall............
Thanks, but when I need another battery, it will be an EN-EL 15. :)
