How can 2 batteries in series have 1 battery go dead over night while the other battery still have a full charge?
There are 8 batteries in this security camera. 4 rows of batteries, each row has 2 batteries in series.
It takes the new charge about 3 hours to charge 4 batteries to full charge. The old charger takes about 7 hours to do a full charge. I charge 4 batteries in each charger then put camera outside. Make sure camera switch in ON and it is working. Next morning no pictures on camera. 1 battery is DEAD the other 7 batteries still have a full charge.
HOW can 1 battery in series with another battery go dead while the other battery still has a full charge??? This is the 3rd time 1 battery has gone dead while the other 7 batteries have a full charge???
At the moment I have not noticed if the dead battery is in the same location each time.
Last time this happened I made sure dead battery did not go back into this camera after being recharged. A different battery is dead this time?
I bought 32 new batteries last summer they have all worked good until now. In the past batteries have all lasted about 5 months before needing to be recharged.
It appears all 8 batteries are in series.
UPDATE. Volt meter shows 5 of the recharged 8 batteries are still dead but battery charger claims batteries have full charge. Batteries were all charged with the same EBL faster charger. New charger must be trash. I will recharge all 32 batteries in the old slow charger that will take a week. Later today I will know if the 4 dead batteries charged in the old slow charger.
Disregard this post I should have used volt meter to test batteries before making this thread.
Maybe I should build a slow 8 hour 24 battery charger but I don't see anyone that sells single battery holders? I don't have a 1 volt AC transformer either. Bad idea.
