Hi, I've been having problems with the charge on my batteries for my Sony Cybershot DSC-W1. When I charge my batteries and then put them in the camera the charge only shows as half full, then in a few minutes the charge drops to nothing and the camera starts shutting off.

This happens with the original batteries I got with the camera or with some newer ones I bought more recently. Any ideas on what this could be? Does it sound like my camera is shot? Sony charges $180+ to fix an out of warrenty camera and I'm not stupid enough to pay that when I can buy a decent new camera for that price.

Thoughts?

It might be your charger. Maybe you can find a new one that for not too much money.
