    Hello everyone,

    The Canon G7X Mark II has become a favorite in my shooting arsenal, especially for vlogging. It's a fantastic and versatile little beast!

    Last night while charging batteries, I encountered something a mystery. I carry four batteries, all Canon NB-13L.

    The first three batteries charged normally. On the last battery of the bunch to be charged, the light went from amber when first connected to white! I pulled the battery free and reinserted it for an exact repeat - amber to white after the normal charging time. I then disconnected it completely for several hours, the restarted the process. This time, it went normally, from amber to green in the usual time. A check of the battery in camera showed it to be fully charged.

    My initial thought was overheating, but the charger and battery were cool - or, room temperature - to touch. I've not been able to find anything in the charger literature referencing a white indicator light. Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks!

    try putting one of the other batteries back on charge, maybe the indicator light has failed in producing the correct colour

    I gave it a shot, and the charge behaved normally. :)
