The battery indicator on the D is pretty hopeless. Full, half, dead. As soon as it goes off full, I replace the batteries. Sounds as though the DS is the same.
Same for the DS. With NiMH, I'd go to half for a minute and then it's back up to full.. but the camera clearly has less and less power until the camera would just plain give up (without much of a clue from the battery indicator on top).
With the rechargeable Li-Ion batteries (RCR-V3 from Delkin), the indicator never goes off of the "full" mark, ever. At some point, though, the camera just stops doing anything when you hit the shutter button.
(Here's hoping this doesn't touch off a debate about the proper kinds of batteries to use in the camera. Suffice it to say that if I could afford to keep the camera fed with the legitimate, non-rechargeable CR-V3 batteries I would do it!)
