I bought D200 camera half a year ago and already have a problem with battery contact - battery life indicator goes down to one level. I figured out the problem - it is design problem of battery pins. This problem happens, when middle pin does not have a connection - it is made from softer material than other two.
Probably after pushing battery too hard inside causes this pin to bend and as a result - it loses connection after a while.
By design the central pin should push a top plate, other two - side plates (I guess). How to fix this problem easily - did not figured out yet.
