Chosen Solution
i have replaced the battery ,and after charging the max charge indicated 50% only and after ipicture taken “battery exhausted” shows.
Read this on www.tomsguide.com So make of it what you will. ‘’try this … i had the same problem with the same camera and this fixed it. remove the battery, and remove the memory card … then re-install the battery & turn on the camera. this process seems to reset the camera, if the battery ran too low. now you can re-install the memory card & battery and resume normal operation. be sure to check for the small flashing green light on the back of the camera (next to the “flash” indicator symbol). it should be blinking when the camera is charging.’’ Actual Nikon fix
Those batteries are smart with a chip in them. Only allow so many cycles or limit the time used-years. One of the best cameras for I have for posting on CL with its PC mode low resolution setting
It did not work. Tried it 3 times. Dissapointing especially after buying new battery.
