Has anyone else noticed oddities with the off camera battery charger that comes with the 10D (and other digitals, I assume)? I noticed that mine didn't seem to charge the battery fully - I use the camera for a while, put the battery to charge and the charger claims it is done within 10 seconds. The camera shows half a battery on the charge indicator. Take it out and try again, maybe it takes 20 minutes to charge. Take the battery into my G3 (which charges in camera) and it spends another hour or so to get to full charge. Seems like a fault with the charger, so I asked a friend to compare it with his and he reckoned it behaved normally. However, he's now said his has shown the same effect: a half charged battery going immediately to full charge on the indicator (steady light). Has anyone else observed such behaviour or even managed to overcome it? It's an official Canon BP511 battery (whether the one that came with the G3 or the 10D I'm not sure).
