It's probably going to be time consuming to try and think through them all here, but chat should be an easier way to ask them quicker and if we figure something out we can post back here. | |

| Aug 20, 2013 at 2:31 | comment | added | AJ Henderson♦ | @Bob - what charger are you using. My 5d mark3's charger goes to a solid green light when they are charged. | |
| Aug 20, 2013 at 2:30 | comment | added | zzzbbx | I keep them on charge till I see the led blinking green. It typically takes about 2.5 hours. | |
