Maybe I asked the question wrong: When I check battery performance in the menu it shows that one battery has more shots than the other, is this normal

That would depend on the batteries capacity the higher the capacity the more shots it will take.

Not the question I asked! When I go into Battery Check on the camera shutter count is different for each battery. I'd like to know if this is normal, I would have expected that each battery would show the same number of shutter actuations. I am not asking about max number of actuations for the batteries

Our battery lasted longer than that. Like you said, maybe if you were shooting it non-stop in full auto mode it would last only 20 minutes, but in normal play it was just fine.

I did and I am not having any issues. The mAh capacity only affects total charging capacity of the batteries. The higher the mAh, the higher the total charge of the battery (the battery will take longer to drain out). I am not a pro, but that's what it was explained to me a long time ago. I hope it helps.

Yep, spoke with a lady in Customer Support last week. She didn't provide details (2 batts onboard, etc), but confirmed an estimated release by end of March. I'm guessing it will be a single batt in the grip, then the other in the factory port. I wish they would go with the 2 in pack, since it's easier to drop and charge! :)

I haven't used the video feature, so I can't answer that question. I get pretty good time on battery with snapshots, but always have extra battery charging.

battery is shot. it has a memory when charged too often without dishcharging completely. battery is shot.

This seems to be a problem with some of these. I cannot get it to work in picture take mode, only in playback mode. From there, however, you can change the battery type, so I know mine didn't work even after changing this. I've tried several sets of batteries, both alk and nimh. After at most a few pictures it says it's dead, but in playback mode it still says it's fully charged. So, I'm guessing there's a quality control issue with these.

It's not recommended as the charge and discharge rates are different for the two batteries. It's best to use two batteries of the same capacity.

Thanks, not really an issue, grip works fine. I just wondered, since both batteries are always in play, why the shutter count for each battery and be different. A nit, really.

I've left mine charging for several days, and have never had performance issues with the battery. I know that's purely anecdotal, but its not something I've ever had an issue with.

I believe this is normal operation. It did that for me with the original power supply. I think it's just to let you know when it's charging vs. battery mode. Hope that helps.

M_ENGLE and DUSTY comments contradicts what Bob commented...I want to use this device for load testing and confirm the condition of any battery......who am i to be believe now, because am about to place order.

Actually, I've never noticed. I usually use two batteries with no problems. I do a lot of vertical shots and it's been great so far.

Both ,Jonathan. The first one was replaced, and I was offered my money returned. I elected to also purchase a new battery from another company, and am using that one currently.

Sorry to question your capabilities ... have you ensured that the batteries are all in the slots, in the right direction? My original batteries were dead, as sent by the manufacturer. But the new ones tested fully charged, and I was careful to place them in the slots as indicated by the arrows.Give that a shot and see.

That is a function of your camera, so you should be able to see how much charge is left. I do look at it off and on, but never look to see which battary is in the camera and I have always been able to see what charge I have left.

Robert, I said I would get back with you after taking more pictures. I just hit photo number 30 since you asked and no...it is not flashing that I need new batteries. I use regular Energizers. Nothing special. I too think you may have a problem with the camera. Although, I have gone through a couple pair of batteries very quickly, and it occured to me that the store may have just sold me old batteries. Not all have experation dates on the packging. Good luck, I love the pictures I am getting, I hope you do to.
