Thank you for your answers. I recharged my battery.

An indicator on the screen shows the battery strength but if i am going to be taking a lot of pictures I go ahead and charge it anyway. That way when i leave the camera is fully charged and I do not have to worry about it.

When the coolpix camera no longer works , It is time to recharge the battery !

Although I read about this sort of thing from some other reviewers, I did not have this problem. I added the charged batteries, turned it on, and it worked. I don't know if there's a remedy other than exchanging the product. Sorry.

I have not had to charge the battery yet, but you must be correct. I probably will charge it while I'm sleeping.

Usually it is the battery. Take a battery you know is still chargeable and see if it recharges.

The one that I got had a rechargeable battery. I just plugged it in for a few hours before I used it.

Yes, and quite suddenly. Mine was working fine and when it as due to be charged, it simply would not charge anymore. Like a dead car battery.

Mine recharged right away. I have had no problems. I followed the installing of the new battery from the video on the computer.instructions Perhaps your new battery is bad.

On high my battery has lasted at least 3 or 4 hours. I actually recharge after every other ride and my rides are about an hour and a half.

My battery did when I received it this Summer. Hooked right up. All good still.

I guess you need to let it fully recharged, I use it once a week and had no problem.

Yes. Mine did. My battery did'nt keep a charge very long at first, but it seems to be lasting longer now

I used these at work last winter, by the end of the day, it seemed that the batteries were getting tired. Not a problem, that was what I expected. Just take some spares with you.

Yes, very well. I accidentally left my light on for over 8 hours necessitating my first charge. It took less than 4 hours (I was gone for that timeframe) and its back to full charge.

The last time I changed a battery, I had a similar response. But, given time it recovered and is now working properly. Maybe it's a capacitance issue.

I'm still on the original batteries. Used a fair amount. Don't think rechargeable are necessary

Yes, this battery was recharged before I used it. It charged faster than the old battery (took about an 1 1/2 hrs. to reach 100%). Recharging it is not the problem. The life of the battery in the phone was short lived. All the juice was gone before the end of the day. Daily, it needed to be recharged. A better investment is the EC TECHNOLOGY High Quality 2 x1500mAh Li-ion Battery. It lasted for many days without recharging. Thank heaven, I found a solution to the problem..... Samsung batteries are a huge disappointment!

Yes, it's rechargeable. Sometimes it doesn't hold a charge very long, but plug it up and it puts enough of a charge to do what you need to do, then just plug it in to recharge it like normal.
