[QUOTE="Apache, post: 20888, member: 828"] Static electricity is different! Electrons are lost from an insulator and the crack you feel is the brief movemnt of electrons. Certian things lose electrons and take a negative charge and others take a positive charge - this explains the ability to 'stick' a balloon to the ceiling! For simplicity's sake assume static electricity not involved. I had an old Vivitar camer that would only take 15-20 pics on 2 rechargable 2000mah batteries, I now have a Konika Minolta with a Li-ion battery which takes hundreds. Camera's tend to be high drain devices - especially if using flashes etc. How long are you keeping the batteries in the box after charging? Rechargable batteries do loose charge whilst stored (li-ion loses less charge in storage). You could try buying 2 identical sets of non-rechargable batteries store 1 in the case and keep one as a control - rule out the box? (although the box is really unlikely to be involved) Or try a new set of rechargable batteries? How old are they? [/QUOTE]
