I've a Minolta Dimage XT battery has been essentially useless from

camera.

Did you buy a genuine replacement battery for the camera or a cheapo
chinese one? In my experience some of the chinese copies are not very
good.

Just boughta cheap (£9.99 delivered from the UK, well channel
islands) chinese copy for my iPaq from eBay. Knocks spots of the old
chinese one that would be lucky to last 30 mins. Time will tell how
long the new one lasts of course but I'm happy ATM. B-) A HP
branded battery is in the order of £30...

I presume that you are talking about 7dayshop there
