I have an Agfa Optima 8328m - 8 megapixel, with an SD 2GB card.

Would like some help or advice please regarding batteries. I can't work out why the batteries need replacing/recharging very often.

The camera came with its own recharger and I also bought a spare battery for it. It takes the flat ones (approx 1" x 1-1/2") Lithium Ion Battery Pack.

Am I leaving the battery in the charger too long, not long enough??? Don't want to replace the card for a bigger one, unless this is causing the problem.

Tried various places for an answer, but no luck. To top it off - Agfa seems to have gone out of business (at least here in Australia anyway).

Hope someone can help me.

Thank you in advance
Katherine
