Corrective, I'd suggest you do a search here for Sony battery issues. I believe that a year ago people were having issues with recharging their model 500's if they had let the battery run completely down. Also I think with leaving it unused for weeks at a time. But those may have been solved either with last summer's firmware update or in the new model 505 release. I've had no problems with my 500 but I never let the battery run completely down and I use it every day. I'd recommend you read (skim) the user manual, don't expose it to temperature extremes, and don't risk dropping it. Mine's been great for 9 months now. Enjoy!
