I have a 350d and I have 4 batteries. Over the last couple of weeks I have noticed they go flat quickly. I used to be able to shoot a cyclo-cross race on one pair,about 500 images. Now I am lucky to get 50. The batteries are all 4-5 years old, could they just be shot. The charger says they are fully charged. So is it time to replace them?

You can pick up a sack full at Sterlingtek.com for a reasonable price.

Lithium-Ion has a durability of 2-3 years. So to have gotten 5 out of them you have done well.
