I have had the D200 and battery grip since last year. The exact same problem started happening around a month ago. I tried without the grip and same thing. I carefully and completely the contacts of the EnEL3 batteries, the battery compartment on the camera and also the grip. I get between 3 and 8 pictures before it shuts down showing the battery as out of power.

I have just emailed Nikon tech support with all of the details and hope they respond by tomorrow with a fix. From reading everything, it seems this problem has been going on for quite a long time.

Any new ideas?? Although the ENEL3 batteries fully charge, could they be wearing down? Thank you
