This is strange. The original battery from my K-5II doesn't seem to want to charge. I used it all day today, it showed about 1/3 remaining charge when I popped into the charger. Charged for about 10 minutes and shows fully charged. The third party battery, I've been using as a spare, lasts all day shows 1/3 charged and takes about four hours to recharge. Maybe the original battery is going bad, but I've had both the same amount of time and based on previous experience I'd expect the OEM battery to outlast the third party...
I'd expect the same thing, but I have seen OEM batteries fail. Have you tried running the OEM battery all the way down to where the camera won't stay turned on before recharging? I know Li-Ion batteries aren't supposed to show memory effects like ni-cads used to, but I have seen behavior that mimics that. -- Science - Questions we may never find answers for.
