I have been experiencing CHR error messages for about a month now. It turned out there was nothing wrong with my batteries, and my PQI card reader appears to have no effect on my Lexar CF 1GB.
I noticed when I placed the recharged battery into the slot and closed the door, the CHR light would go off temporarily and then reappear after one or two pics. It appeared that the battery was not seating properly which I solved by breaking a flat toothpick in half and then placing it on the bottom of the battery before closing the battery door. No more CHR error messages.
A more permanent solution, of course, would be to have the door latch spring replaced with a spring having a bit more tension. I'll see how long my 'band aid fix' lasts before I cross that bridge, though.
