I think this maybe the most sensible option to me rather than repair. Thank you

Thanks Bob,
I’m convinced that it is the date/time batteries that are at fault. Thanks again

No, the battery doesn’t get warm. When I say it loses a third, I’m going off the battery indicator on the camera screen and not measuring the remaining capacity of the actual battery. But when leaving it overnight it is fully depleted in the morning. I now feel confident that the fault lies within the camera - maybe it’s the internal date/time batteries. Thank you very much for your response, you’ve been most helpful.

No, I have to reset the date/time every time. This could be the problem, thank you

It is the GPS version and you make a good point for everyday use. I will do a reset of the camera as you suggest. I’ve already tested the batteries out in exactly the way you’ve suggested and proved the camera is where the fault lies. Thanks very much

I have a Pentax WG-1 that I use whilst hiking in the mountains. Over the last year or so the battery(s), even when not in use, depletes rapidly. Thinking this was the just the actual battery(s) that needed renewing I recently purchased a couple of new ones. When I loaded one into the camera it was fully charged so I took a couple of photos to check all was well and was amazed that the battery had lost a third of its charge. Thinking this was because the battery was new I recharged it, reloaded it to the camera and checked it was fully charged and it was. The very next day without using the camera the battery was fully depleted again. What do I need to do?
