Thanks Chris - I forgot the detail of the cold was last Tuesday evening so they are plemty warm today
When I initially put both batteries in they would not charge. Now one of them appears to be charging, the other one will not. One of them is relatively new so my hope is the cold fried the original battery and the newer one is ok.
It was a panic mode for a minute because I have no spare body. Of course I wanted to take a few shots, and I know I charged both of them just before I left (a week ago today) so I was pretty sure they would not completely discharge in a week cause I have gone several weeks between charge before.
Then I remembered the trip home from airport. A 5 minute walk to the car, 10 minutes getting the snow off it and letting it run and another 5 minutes before the interior warmed up. It was pretty cold as well (-23 Celsius) and forgot about the cold can drastically affect battery life.
The fact that one will not charge and maybe it is dead (9 months old) could just be a coincidence, but I am not a big believer in coincidences
The one battery still appears to be charging should know in an hour or so. A second battery is considerable cheaper than a new body.
I looked mind you and the new K10 is now $649.00 that is $50.00 less than I paid for mine which I bought used off of this forum.
Tick Tock ... Tick Tock .... I await the charge
