I'll wait till I get it back, then I'll let them know how I feelYou should get in touch with Nikon - they themselves state repairs will be between 2-4 weeks.

I never use Liveview and the wifi (Snapbridge) is such a poor App it just isn't worth bothering with, so I dont, it's Airplane Mode on permanently ... still no difference.I find the batteries last longer if i dont use some of the features like live view and wifi.

As it's been over 40 days with Nikon and over a week allegedly fixing it, hopefully some day I will be able to get back to using it!
Tried calling them?
Scary stuff that man flu - get well soon. Glad the camera is back and appears fixed.Well haven't been out with the camera yet due to man-flu ( ) but it's been back now over 24 hours and there has been no battery leakage with it left off, so it looks as though whatever has been done may well have fixed the problem ... it'll be Monday before I get the opportunity to test how it performs 'in the field'.
Got mine back today after exactly one month (September 11th - October 11th). Turns out Wex didn't send it off to Nikon, instead they sent it to a third-party Nikon approved RMA service called 'Fixation' down in London. Fixation said they didn't find any issues, but we all know a lot of RMA services say this.
I've put the two batteries on charge but not terribly convinced given that I put one of the batteries in and it was reading 90% charge left after just 13 shots.
That could be why they use them then.You might be interested to know that WEX own Fixation
Don't think Nikon were involved if you are referring to Jason's experience.This sounds like a damning indictment of Nikon's customer services. Is it typical?

Absolutely for mine, over 40 days ... but Jason's was done 'in-house' by Wex/Fixation and therefore didn't involve Nikon ... which is a pity because Nikon needs to be made aware of this issue faced by a significant number of users.yours as well........how long did it take to do a repair?
I've heard some RMA services say this and actually the problem has been fixed - look in that other forum thread I posted on the first page.Will be odd if they "found no issues" and it's cured.

Maybe, I don't know ... if it will actually come to someone's attention rather than just 'going through the accounts' that will be great.I've always assumed they just bill Nikon for the work so surely they're aware whichever way it goes?
Two days later and its down to 92% with airplane mode on,looks like its losing at least 2% per day, guess that will increase as the battery drops, is this in keeping with others or am i being picky.
Not checked that as i only have one battery so cant risk it running out.That's what I was finding but the real killer was shots per charge ... Nikon says approx 1240 shots per charge and I was getting 500-600.
What are you getting?
But you can do a guestimate e.g. you take 300 shots and battery shows 25% remaining, so anticipated capacity of 400 shots.Not checked that as i only have one battery so cant risk it running out.

Out of interest are you using an XQD card and if so which manufacturer?Been out this morning with 92% came back with 140 shots and had 87% so i dont think i will have a problem if i leave airplane mode on.
Ime using a Lexar 32gb 440mbs 2933x with a sandisk extreme pro 95mbs, XQD assigned as back up, ok being thick here what do you mean by stand by time, if you mean how long does the shutter speed ect stay visible after the shot ( is that information display?) then thats on auto and i have never checked but its only maybe 5 seconds.
I switch the camera on when i arrive at the lake and it stays on for between two and three hours, I use VR most of the time and do do a bit of image checking on the LCD.
