I just received the Lukas LK LK-530 battery for use with my Lukas LK-7900 camera, and I think the battery I have received may not be working properly, but is hard to tell because of the wording of the manual.
The owner's manual states that upon connecting the battery to the cigarette lighter (DC in), the display should show "CH **" with the ** representing a number, I think, for example "CH 85." My understanding is that this would indicate that the battery is charging and is at 85% of capacity. My product never displays any number, but just shows "CH" with a flowing/ rotating rectangle after the "CH." It looks like the battery is trying to determine the charging level, but is unable to do so. Also, the battery shuts off even when the battery switch is on, the battery is plugged into the cigarette lighter, and the car engine is running. In other words, it sometimes fails to recognize that it is receiving power from the cigarette lighter, despite the fact that it is.
Can anyone shed some light onto the situation. Is is clear from my description that my product is faulty, or am I missing something?
