me too, always use until the red batt lights up. but just 2 weeks ago, it only supply power for a while. i took only like 30 shots. i tried to charge it and it only charge for a while. maybe a bit faulty. the other one still working fine, bought at the same.

A good sign of many people buying 5D?
Or production and logistic problem.

Hiee Pals....

Remember, juz like making semiconductors, there are such thing as BinA(best), Bin B(mid), Bin C(worst) type of thingy.....probably those bad lots made it through to the markets too.
hence...you may get really drastic bejaviour from one batt to another in terms of charge cycle life.

Hi Don,

I just got one from J3:16 today. The brand is Stein Zeiser. Got it for $35. Quoted for $45... Bargain a bit. It says that the Cells made in Japan (so I presume that final assembly is made somewhere else). It also says High Capacity up to 30% higher than original mfg. Got the EG-NP400 1500mAh, 7.4AV ratings on the battery.

CP and EastGear out of stock for third party bat. CP has the original selling at 130.

my EG was 1700mAh, what's the rating for the one you just bought? I dropped by John on Saturday too, he showed a brand like Digital something, so I didn't buy.

Lithium cells will deteriorate if u leave it drained for too long. Thats why when u purchase them off the shelf, they always have about 50% charge in it. They last longest this way. Safest it to store them charged, and also very convenient for you if u need it.

My fren had juz proven this again. He left his Palm PDA drained for >1yr and his batt wont hold charged for long. Recent case...

 

[Drudkh]

i charge my batts everytime after i've used them. should not have this problem leh. sometimes the most i leave it for 1 week (5 days) before i charge for use the next day. i shoot almost every week.

The rating I have is 1500mAh, that is the same as the original battery I got in my D5D. Does D7D has higher rating battery?

Was at Funan earlier this morning and saw the following sources of NP400 battery:

Bestcam (next to AP) at Funan has the "Digital" 1500mAh one going for $23 (quoted by a lady) while Info-com (1 floor above Bestcam) has the Eastgear 1700mAh one selling for $28.90.

I went for the Eastgear one!

Just for information to anyone going down to East Gear outlet at Peninsular to get the batteries...

They told me that they ran out of stock for NP400 n new stocks might arrive in oct.

Just for info only. It might not be accurate.

Funan, 4th floor i think. the batts are right in front of the cashier. the shop is like a mini-mart, you have to go through a gate. its right in front of the escalator.
