EN-EL19 Rechargeable Battery

Bought my camera 2months ago and battery states exhausted. Poor product from Nikon

Bought Coolpix Camera in Dec 2011, battery is dead, won´t charge, not happy

Went to use camera for girls night out, had everyone posed and ready for the pic, turned on the camera for it to say ´´battery exhausted´´ even thoughit was charging over 24 hours. Tried using car charger and still would not gain a charge. Lost out on a lot of great photos. Have had the camera for less than 1 year.

Bought S4100 Coolpix for my wife for Christmas 2011 gift. She used the camera very little.
On Mother´s Day 5/14/12 ( 4 1/2 months later) she turned camera on and got a ´´Battery Exhausted´´
message. I attempted to recharge it. It will not take a charge. Seems to be a widespread problem.
Its a shame I can´t give this product ´´0 stars´´. Won´t replace it with a ´´Nikon´´ brand battery.

Same issues others here describe with not being able to hold a charge. A far cry from the Nikon Battery in the camera that this one replaced, which never had this problem and I had the Camera for over 5 years. You will see similar reviews on other sites.
What happened to the legendary quality I had come to expect from you Mr. Nikon?

I´ve only had my camera for a few months and the battery went dead and would not recharge.

I got the camera for Christmas and work find until the battery ran all the way down. Once it ran all the way down, it wouldn´t recharge at all. Disappointing!

In my humble opinion, lithium-chemistry batteries are not items you should pay the lowest prices for.
Lithium chemistry is just great, but it also has to be manufactured with exceptional care. In the past, Li (chemical symbol for lithium) batteries have caught fire, and such fires are not nice. With what I´m sure has been a lot of testing, probably redesign, and extremely-careful manufacturing, Li batteries have become quite reliable enough if treated properly. Nikon surely must be very careful to select manufacturers (if they don´t make their own!) who will provide the best quality. I just bought an S3100, so I can´t speak of long-term experience. So far, excellent.
