My Nikon S3300 camery battery says "battery exhausted." Previously, when this happened, I connected it with my laptop using the cable for a few hours and the battery recharged successfully. This time, I tried the same procedure, but the camera only took one shot before saying "battery exhausted" again. Do I need to order a new battery at this point?

SOURCE: Battery Problem

These cameras have a internal battery that holds data for the camera to keep its settings. These batteries can be replaced but the camera has to be disassimboled to change it they should be able to be changed at a local camera shop pretty cheap.

I just had this problem today myself, and looked everywhere online for a solution. I changed the batteries (to Panasonic), and it didn't help. But i tried different batteries (Energizers) and the camera started working again.
