I charged them until the charger "said" that they are charged and tried them with my K100D and I saw the battery sign blinking, not even turning on. Then, I put back the batteries the camera had from factory and it worked for about a minute. And they work 1 minute if 30 min. they "relax".
Is the problem in the camera or I'm not using the batteries I have to.

thanks.

It's normal. What you need to get is either *Regulated* Rechargeable CR-V3 or Sanyo Eneloop.
