hi all

bought a third party grip for my 40d
when the battery runs out is it suppost to auto switch to second battery ???

have tried a battery in both slots and they both work

any help please

alan i think you'll find that when you use a battery grip it obviously doubles your supply with 2 x batteries instead of one, so i'm sure that the 2 run in unison, so when the batteries are out, they are out and will both need recharging or replacing........hope this helps.......:thumbs:
 
hi kro

only had it a month so never really tested it if thats possible
one battery ran out on saturday but the other was full charge

do you just have to remove one for the other to work ???
maybe one was abit low aswell
will have to make sure all fully charged for southport saturday

glad i did not buy genuine one if that is the case

It sounds like that may be the case for your third party, but the genuine ones use both batteries to effectively double the camera time.

On another note, if your going to Southport on Saturday, were you aware there's a meet on the Sunday? Check the meetings forum if not.
