20-D Blowing thru batteries!!!

[chase237]

I have been shooting my 20 D without a battery grip and have been able to shoot a ton of large fine images, but I recently put a battery grip on and have had to recharge my batteries after shooting only 80-100 shots or so. Anyone else have this problem, or a solution?? Thanks!!!!

I'm afraid that's a fault. Have a look at this "sticky" in the Accessories forum: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=70497.

I jjust got my camera few days ago, connected grip to it, and in first battery died in 80-100 shots, I thought I got bad grip, but then let the bettery carge for an hour and half even so the full churged light coming up in 20-25 (on dry battery), after then I shot about 300 shots and still indicator shows full battery.


the only flaw on grip (have no clue why Canon even bother to put AA container) AA not allow to take more then one shot, that sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
