The *ist D has been connected to the 6V 12 AH battery since about the 28th October -- I think. Today the battery indicator showed empty and battery reads 4.4 volts. The battery was used in its original state of charge from the supplier.
I often leave the camera on and since it's set to 3 minutes before off it uses some of the battery capacity whilst I'm messing about downstairs. I think I may have taken about 900 - 1000 exposures by now since I have about good images on CDs. The battery will be charged by the morning. I'll put it back and make a note on my calender this time. By the way the NiCd batteries I found in a drawer are working are fine -- after a thorough 'La Crosse-ing' -- but are reserved for the flashes.
