Re: Olympus SP-100EE
You're not being very clear here, I have to think that it's also not taking photos as if it was then the battery would be fine.
I've had drama in the past with flat batteries not registering with the charger at all and fooling me into thinking they're charged, the problem is that they've dropped too low for a charger to output anything into them. The trick I use to stir them back into life is to momentarily put a voltage source across the camera battery terminals, only a couple of seconds will do at it puts just enough life into the battery for a charger to be woken up.
My experience from an outing where my spare battery was dead flat thanks to this has led me to wean myself from chargers and use USB in camera charging, which happily Olympus have about the best setup of all the camera makers to use, as it also has a dead simple way of reading the card using it as well. Other camera makers are behind in this, Canon only having a few models that can be charged in camera, other makers can have awkward methods of card reading.
