SD400 batterie issue

Hi all,

i'm facing problem loading my SD400 camera batteries: the little light saying that the battery is loading and then full stay off whatever i do. The batterie stay empty.

I would like to know if one get an idea to help me with fixing this batterie loader !


Thanks !

How old is the battery?
But it is easy to check the charger. Look at the voltage coming from the charger. It should be 4.2 volts for that battery I believe. If the voltage is much below 4, then the battery will not charge. If the voltage is 4.2, next measure the battery. It should read very close to 3.8. If it is not and the charger will not charge, it is time to replace the battery.

good idea... have to find something to check the voltage then

ps: i checked 2 batteries: one i bought 4 months ago and a older one

And both show the same problem? If so odds are that the charger is not working. It would be quite coincidental for two batteries to fail at the same time.

you are probably right, as i didn't find my tool to measure the voltage (don't know how to say in english), i used my tong on the charger and the batteries: nothing for the charger (luckily for me !).

Conclusion: i am going to buy a new charger (40$ in France). urghh !
Thanks a thousand time for your help ! (i tried to find a solution on french forums for more than a week, and when i come here i get helps in less than 20 minutes !!!)

Good luck, hope that solves the problem.
