Query: Help For This Battery

I signed on looking for this battery and noticed everyone had the same problem. I also have the Sony DSC-P1. Taking "Canada's " advice I killed the battery. You should set the flash to on. After you turn on the camera and the flash is charged take a picture right away and continue doing this as soon as the charge light is steady. I took 150 pictures this way(2 64 meg cards) on a socalled dead battery. Don't give the battery indicater a chance to come on. This battery used to charge in 4 minutes and die in 3.:). After I killed the battery to the point it didn't have the energy to pull the lens back in, it took 2 hours to charge and hasn't died yet! I don't think the battery itself has memory, I think it has a problem with the info part that tells the camera how much powers left and it fools the camera into shuting off. Hope this helps all. It helped both my batteries.
