nths ago, I decided it was time to stop buying (and disposing of) all those expensive batteries I use for my cameras, mouse and toothbrush! I bought enough to be able to cycle them through the various appliances and have a few spares to recharge in my new nifty little charger. Brilliant, right?I bought them at various times, so
some were Duracell and some were Energizer. I felt so noble about having done something not only thrifty, but ecologically sound.So, I made some beads yesterday. I cleaned them this AM and had them all ready to photograph.
I recharged my batteries over the weekend and had brought them along out to the shop, put them in the camera and was ready to go. Turned the camera on and "Batteries Exhausted" appeared on the screen. What???
I took the batteries out of my mouse and substituted them for two of the camera batteries - still got the batteries exhausted message. Bummer!
Maybe it's the camera. Maybe it's the batteries. Maybe it's that adorable collapsible charger.
I will get to the bottom of this, but it is super annoying. I guess I'll go get my "traveling" camera out of the car. Those batteries have probably discharged because of the cold!
This little episode stopped me in my tracks... I had a lot of plans for today and I just had to rant to someone about it. Now maybe I can get over this and back on track.
I WILL be back later with pix.

For whatever it's worth, I have NEVER successfully recharged a rechargeable battery. THEY also end up in the land fill. As well, of course, as all the unused batteries in the huge package I bought last year. Someone said storing them in the fridge might help?
