Canon T5i Battery Puzzle

[yadbugee]

i am using a T5i camera and LP-E8 Battery and its original Charger.

I have been having low battery indicator on the camera for a while. I changed to a OEM battery, no respite. I change the charger thinking the charger is not charging it to full capacity, still no respite.

This is what it looks when I pop in a "Fully" charged battery  in my Camera

I have no idea what setting is casuing and who is the culprit, Camera , or the Battery

T

What should I be looking at as the next steps

I think the battery level indicated shows more like "Battery is low, still enough for now" , it does not indicate "Battery Level is OK"

I agree with jrhoffman75...it shows battery is OK...only the manual shows it in black...should have been all white as shown.  All you need to do to verify is to wear the battery down enough to show the next level...if you see one black, two white then the manual had the colors reversed.

The manual background is white, so it couldn’t show the battery in white. 

Maybe be it would have been more clear if the manual showed a screenshot of the back of the camera.

There's no reason they ciouldn't show the battery indicator correctly in the manual. If it needs a black background, just print a black rectangle to show it on. We're talking "correctable oversight" here.

On the left side of the page they show the “on camera” view. I should have pointed that out in my previous post.

It is being illustraed correctly in the manual.  The manual shows multiple bars to indicate a full charge, fewer bars to indicate less than a full charge, and no bars to indicate no charge, which is exactly what the camera does.

If you want to get technical, the manual is showing you how a top LCD display might display battery charge.

For the T5i (and probably other bodies) the LCD screen display can be changed from black with white to white background with black.

Selection Square red is something that I highlighted.

When I reselect the battrey and press {SET], nothing changes ?

Any Suggestions ?

Do you have access to a similar camera where you could try the batteries in it. Friends or camera store.
