  Right. So, when I got home, I took the battery out and put it in the 
charger. It charged for a while, not very long, maybe half an hour, before 
the charger light turned green. I put the battery back in the camera and the 
battery meter display only 2/3rds.

  I disabled the auto-turn off feature and ran the battery to nothing. It 
took many hours before the battery was completely discharged. I took some 
test shots and reviewed them on the LCD to speed up the process.

  After I charged the battery again, the camera displayed three full bars. 
Everything seems ok now. Should I be concerned with this behavior? I could 
make a note of it in the letter I send to Leica.

  Regards,

  Larry
