I have a 10d digital camera. battery gos dead after shooting 15+

sometime if the battery is dead it still shown fully charge on the charger, try change another battery or with new one.

Please make sure to check if the battery is fully charged. Second, check the menu option for battery saving mode and turn it off. If the battery is getting old and not charging fully anymore the priority of the camera is the shooting mode.

Your battery life is finished thats why after showing the full charging its dead faster. Buy new rechargable battery , charged it fully and use it. You naver face the problem again.
Thanks.

Is your battery charged?

your lucky then,,, they take 16 hourse to fully charge unless you rapid charge them? a nasty thing to do to a new battery? all ways slow charge them first,,
never fast charge any battery only charge at whats called "the C10 rate!" they live much longer that way,
in other words slow charge when first charge,,,faster after that! ok,, did you not know you must "form the cells first" before you use them?

I have the exact same camera almost a year too. It is a total "swinka" on batteries. About 10-15 shots on super ni-cads, and quits without warning.

A pair of Energizer 7X gave me near 500 shots. Much cheaper but still ...

So 4 months ago I bought a charger and 2 rechargeables. Charge one while using the other one.
I may get 70-90 shots per charge on these lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, without flash.

Testing the batteries without a load doesn't really tell you anything.
What's the reading? Should be well over 4 volts when fully charged. Mine show 4.2V

You may have it set on shutter priority or the like with the time set to 30 seconds. Try set it to landscape, portrait etc, one of the auto modes, and it should clear up the problem.

well got a little advice from a friend and here is what he suggested the lens might not be on all the way so try taking it off and putting it back on as stupid as this sounds it actually worked when i did it on mine also even though you've probably done it already clean the battery's contacts and the ones in the camera and hopefully that's all the bigger the problem is. good luck

Well replace it by all means - what does the Manual have to say about this particular battery It is usual for a full manual to be on a PDF file on the software disk - have you checked this out? If all else fails- Canon Technical Support is the next stop

At 700 images/week for 52 weeks, you're just about at the point where the shutter could fail pretty soon. I don't think that would affect AF though, and AF doesn't "wear out" with use (other than experiencing the random failures that all electronics do).
