CHECK YOUR BATTERY CONFIGURATION AFTER A COLD BOOT 100LX
The battery configuration (alkaline vs. NiCd) is reset to the default (alkaline batteries) when you press (CTRL)-(<Shift>)-(ON) to perform a reboot. If you are using nickel cadmium batteries, the power detection circuitry will be reading the wrong battery type and will give you inaccurate battery level readings. Also, battery charging will be disabled. You will have to go into Set Up, press Options Battery, and select Nickel Cadmium so that you'll get the correct battery level readings and be able to recharge your batteries.
