Battery Issue

About 10 days ago, I took out my Samsung SC-MX20 to record my son's band concert. It had been a while since I had used the camera, so of course I checked the battery before hand and saw that it needed charging. Plugged it in, filled it up, and off we went.

When we got home, I put it back on the charger so that it didn't use up battery life while I transferred the clips to the computer. By the time I was done, the battery was full again.

This morning, I'm getting ready to go to another son's wrestling match. Out of habit, I got the cameras out and checked the batteries. I was surprised to see that the battery one the video camera was down to 50%!

Now, I know it is the nature of any battery to drain over time, whether it is in a device or just sitting on a shelf. But I was very surprised to see that in 10 days the Samsung battery had lost 50% of it's power. It isn't very old, only about a year, and it hasn't been used extremely heavily, so why should it be losing so much power?

Have any of the rest of you had this problem?
