I went to Heeren last Wednesday with 10 fully charged batteries from a week ago. I was told that I needed to charge it a day or 2 before going down, otherwise the test would not be accurate. I was told that it was normal for rechargeables to discharge after 1 week. I was quite surprised as my other rechargeables (besides Sanyo) seem to hold up quite well. I take that to mean that the new Sanyos would discharge after a week. If that's the case, then I would rather throw away the 10 Sanyos and buy another brand rather than going down to change it again.

I think sanyo shd send me the 4 batts to me by mail personally. I'm not making things difficult for ppl but i guess sanyo's making things diff for me. hope sanyo customer service is reading this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tell me how to collect my batts if they operate only during office hrs? smmore is until 4.30pm only. :thumbsd: :thumbsd: :thumbsd:
I think first of all, the battery owner need to be sure about their battery really have short charge retention life, then go and change, as they never issue a official withdraw or exchange for the batteries.
Instead of just hearing what people say and be "KiaSu" just go and change.
This will greatly increase the unnecessary workload of their service staff.

My 8 pieces of batch: 05-01-0A all hold their charge significantly shorter than my 8 2300mah batts.
My digicam takes 4 pieces at a time.
I'll usually charge them all on the same day, and after 7-10 dyas of standby when I pop the batts into my cam, the 2300mah ones show a full batt. :thumbsup:
the 2500mah batts show a flat batt.:angry:
I'm so very disappointed!!:thumbsd:
As for Sanyo Energy's office at heeren, I called them up and they asked me to email to them to arrange for someone to attend to me..... I'm travelling quite often, and during office hours, it's nearly impossible to find time to go down.... Do they work on weekends... I think not :nono:

The above post just mentioned that, after a few days or a week, test on your electronic equipment, see whether got enough battery power, or does it significantly last shorter than the fully charge one.Ola said:
Or you would like to spend a trip instead of doing the testing at comfor home? Is your choice.

Me give up on the Sanyos liao. Now pass on to the kids to use for their toys. My energizers last longer.......
I went down to Sanyo office early this month without emailing or calling.
My 8 batteries (05-01-0A) were freshly charged as told by this thread.
They say have to leave it for 2 days to see the power drop and than they can check. I leave the batteries with them after filling up a form.
I managed to get it all change with in 3 days. Bee Suan is the lady who service me.
I ask her regarding new batches of batteries and she said to wait awile before the new batch will be out.
The new batteries really seems different. Batteries hold longer.
Am happy with the new lot.

Actually what's the exact problem with these batteries?
1. Do they lose their charge quickly if left not in use?
2. Is the power insufficient?
3. If used immediately after charge, will they last the same no of shots as compared to a fully functional battery?
So far it seems that the problem is that it cannot hold its charge if left unused. Thanks for any clarification.

1. Charge to full
2. Leave idle for 2 days
3. Test in pairs using a GPS device
Numbers that seem to be ok:
05-06-0A (4 pieces tested)
05-02-RW (4 pieces tested)
05-01-0A (4 pieces tested)
Disclaimer: I can't guarantee that my test are accurate.
I'd like to update you guys on my situation.
I've sent my batteries for testing and have got my replacements. I'd like to point out that one of my batteries in batch 05-01-0A was replaced, along with the other two in batch 04-12-0A. All others were returned.
Went to Sanyo office today and brought 4pcs of fully charged batteries and the email print out. At first their sales manager (Japanese) said my battaries are with 1.3v and are holding charge after one day, but I told him after about 70 shots, the batteries are flat. Finally, he agreed to change. All in all took about 20 mins. not too bad.
