his F5.
Alaklines loose their power it is not generally speaking to recover this
lost power, particuly if you have had the batteries exposed for a while, I
speak from experince here, having used my F4 and F5 at temps lower minus 20
degrees centigrade.

In the long run buying the MN-30`s is cheaper. That is if you can get the
chrager and the batteries at a good price, unlike here in the UK. Being
enviromentaly friendly is extremely important, think of all the chemicals
used in the process of your photography.

When you send you F5 back for reprogramming the battery sensor is
recalibrated to work at a lower mA. For more information on the F5 battery
issues see:
