Re: KM 7D Battery

If the batteries are fine in the 5d , just not the 7d , then it's clearly a fault with the camera .

One thing that can cause this is if the internal battery has failed . ( the one that stores the settings , date/time etc when the main battery is removed .

.

Or , something has gone on the main board .

.

The only solution for repair would be either replacing the internal battery , or if that didn't work , trying to figure out which board is at fault .

Trouble is , unless you are competent to replace your battery yourself , paying some one to do it isn't economically viable .

Likewise if it's a board fault , even if you get someone to look at it , new parts aren't available and a workshop are unlikely to be prepared to use salvaged parts as they can't offer a warrantee on the work .

.

So the likely only solution is to remove the battery after use until next needed .
