Al, I think you're quite accurate in describing the underlying
problem...

Well, the camera's battery indicator is made to approximate battery life
for the batteries as described specifically in the manual. When using a
battery pack with other batteries than originally intended for the
camera without the pack, the indicator's voltage "triggers" for the
various discharge stages are wrong for those batteries. This of course
leads to wrong readings... However, "completely empty" is most of the
time correct =P

But Jorge, you're not talking about a battery pack are you...
Did your problem occur with an old battery, possibly included in the
box? Was it very cold or warm that day? Did your problem re-occur with
the new battery?

Cheers, Stefan
