I have an old Dimage XG that I'm very fond of, but the battery doesn't

doesn't last any longer either, so the camera isn't using power when
it's off. I guess the charger is done for then. Is that likely/normal?

I've not come across a charger that still works, but not properly. They
normally work properly or fail totally. But, of course, everything is
possible.

What you need to do it look at the voltage it's delivering while charging
- or better still the current. But it's likely the new battery you've
bought is also faulty.


Strange that the two batteries are equally inefficient though. Yes, I
must get myself a meter...
