You could get an inexpensive multi-meter for about $10. (Any one who does any electronic work would have one, ask a friend). Check the voltage label (my Canon is 7.4 V) on the battery and touch the contacts after fully charging the battery (it should read that voltage and maybe a bit more (mine reads 7.96), then leave it sit for a day and re-check. If that is OK, put it in your camera, leave it turned off and check again. Still OK, use the camera for a day and re-check.Freshstart wrote: I'll try cleaning the contacts when I get home.
