Finally, got my self a basic P n S digicam few weeks back, its a Canon Powershot A470. Cam was bundled with 2 pairs of batteries(both rechargable ones). A pair Panasonic 2100mah batteries and a pair of Uniross 2100mah batteries which bundled with the Uniross Battery charger RC104423.
Problem started when I tried to charge the panasonic pair for about 12 hours, its was a mess, both batteries outer cover opened up and started to leak!

The charger had water like liquid all over it, even after 5 days am still finding traces of liquid coming out. Now, how do I get rid of it? I don't have the right tools to open up the charger nor am a electronics punter to fix it.


But, luckily the charger still works!am able to charge the other pair of batteries.
Now,few thing I want to know:
- What is the average time to charge a pair of 2100mah batteries? The manual on the charger says 16 hours for 2100mah.
- What liquid is it am I finding on the charger?(pic attached)
- Has anyone faced similar problems?
- Suggest me a pair of batteries.
