Hi! I have owned a brand new Leica M-E for 1 week. I have 2 batteries that both show only 75% charged in camera after being fully charged? Why is that?
Charged battery is not fully charged? Leica M-E.

Are they genuine Leica batteries or after market?
Are you sure they are fully charged? - if they are the green and orange lights on the recharging unit should both be on with no flashing.

I'm not a battery tech but I've read unused batteries develop their full capacity after some charging/use cycles. Then it depends on how camera interprets what battery reports to it. It could always report 100% after charging and or show less if camera "knows" that battery isn't fully broken in. That's laughable explanation from scientific point of view, of course.

Yes and yes!😉
It could be that way. They are brand new, charged only two times. The first time battery that came with the camera was charged it showed 100% in camera. But now around 75%. I guess I will keep shooting and see what happens.

I've never experienced that with three bodies plus their spare batteries. My guess is a bad charger.

Hi,
Batteries don't take a full charge at first but slowly build up to it. And the full, 66% and worry indicators in cameras are a bit crude. Meaning (say) 70% will show as full...

Thanks! I will be patient. I guess I react when spending this kind of money on a camera.
