I've owned a Canon T3i for a year now and have had no problems with the camera to-date. Yesterday I removed the battery (model LP-E8) and inserted it into the charger that came with the camera (model LC-E8E). Unfortunately, the charger will not charge the battery. The amber "charge" light comes on solidly and then starts blinking about 10 seconds later. I had the battery on the charger overnight without success.
I have done some research and found that some owners had the same problem. They simply removed the battery from the charger (unplugged) and then later re-plugged in the unit and inserted the battery. This has not worked for me.
The Canon manual and website are virtually useless in trying to figure out this issue as neither has info about this behavior. The question is what going on here? Do I need a new battery, a new charger ... or both?
My T3i and I thank you for reading ...
