| ->> One of my Canon NP-E3 batteries is taking an unusually long time to refresh. It is an older battery, but up until recently would work fine. started refreshing last night and 13 hrs later it is still in "refresh" mode. Any of you seen similar issues? |

When my NP-E3s started to refresh for a very long time it usually meant they were dead or dying. |

| ->> after nearly 18 hrs of refreshing, it has begun to charge. This should be interesting. |

| ->> Not to try to scare you Willis, but old batteries that are "misbehaving" worry me a bit. Might want to let it do whatever it's doing outside of the house. |

->> Willis,
I am in a similar situation... I have a couple that take about the same amount of time to refresh, then last 30 minutes, then take 20 minutes to "recharge". This is in normal fall temps, meaning when hockey season starts they will be useless.
looking at a couple new ones, anyone have GOOD ones for sale?

| ->> Once those ones start to wear out, you just have to get a new one... The refreshing process extends their life, but not indefinitely. |
