Did you recharge 1 battery straight after the other?
I have heard that if you do this you can overheat the camera

I had the same problem with mine until I bought some energizer lithiums, the rechargable ones just wouldn't hold a charge anymore.

I did not charge one after the other. The battery was only used 2-3 times.
Liion battery. Brand new ones. I have used both of them and nothing.

So is what you are saying DaveB maybe don't buy the gopro then?

I'm saying that I had one, it worked as advertised, but the quality of the actual camera inside the very effective case and mounting system is cheap. Buyer beware.
