The battery for my sanyo digital camera won't charge.

charge battery if chargeable batteries are in your camera, or put new batteries in camera.

when your device shows the "low battery" signal. That is the best time to recharge the batteries.... Do not over charge them..

If the recharageable battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out.Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles andwill lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% andgradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR Thebattery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the batterydrops off to zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to anunacceptable charge level then the battery needs to be replaced.

I don't think you can charge via Computer USB.. you need to use the Charger plug that comes
with the camera. Plug it up into the wall.. You should charge it overnight, but i know you don't
have that kinda time

Electronics are fubar.

I had a simular problem with my Sanyo. I purchased a new battery on E bay, and charged it up, and it worked again.

I had this same problem with my Sanyo camera... I went on E Bay and bought a new battery for it... about 8 dollars if its coming from China.. and it worked.

You have fried a component with in the camera. the only fix is to send it in to Sanyo.com for a repair.
