I've owned a DSC-F505 for two years now, and have run this on two NP-FS11 batterys for that time. But now the batteries are exhibiting some weird behaviour. Initially, after a full charge, they show 70 minutes charge remaining, and they count down correctly. But with about 40 minutes left to go, the counter drops to zero, then the camera switches off. I've read about other people having the same problem, and it is most likely related to the life of the battery. Perhaps it's time to get new ones.

That said, they work well, and no memory effect was apparent. The counter was accurate (until the battery gets pretty old). So look at replacing your batteries every couple of years.
