When I put the Battery Grip on my 20D, the battery level on the LCD indicates that the battery is empty, even though the battery just has been fully charged; if I ignore that indicator, I can shoot as long as if the battery was fully charged.
BUT, at a hockey game recently, with the Battery Grip, the batteries would indicate empty and in fact I wasn't able to shoot. I had to take the Grip out and shoot the game without it.
I guess it's time to send it in to Canon for a checkup?

Anybody had similar problems?
This is the BG-E2 N not the original BG-E2, right? This sounds exactly like the problem with early s/n BG-E2 grips but I've never heard of it being an issue with the BG-E2N.
Yeah, Henry's Retail Store sends it in to their Distribution Centre and the Distribution Centre sends it to Canon; same thing on the way back – this adds a few days to the repair cycle.
