Many paranormal investigators report batteries draining completely of power during an investigation. There are many articles and eye witness accounts about haunted locations draining the energy out of batteries. Below are links to some well written articles that we have found on the net.

Before declaring a place haunted because a battery drained, please consider how many batteries went dead. If only a couple went dead you may want to consider the battery itself. Non- rechargeable batteries: Although you “Just bought it” or “it’s a brand new battery” you may want to consider: How long has it been sitting on the store shelf. Even though the expiration date is years away it may have reduced power because of age. What conditions has it been stored under? Example: Was it sitting in an extremely cold or warm warehouse? Cold and hot depletes battery energy. Rechargeable batteries: If your camera says you have 120 minutes of charge on your rechargeable battery but it dies after 84 (or less) minutes of use, is it ghost activity or an aged battery? The charging capacity of a rechargeable battery gradually decreases with age. Even though a battery appears to be fully charged, the age and usage contribute to the eventual decline of charge capacity. When this capacity declines to 70 % or less you should consider buying a replacement. Information about batteries can be found on the following websites.
