Reset battery chip?

[sgofferj]

Hi,

I had my 6D freeze on me and pulled out the battery. This specific battery now always reports 100% charge and the shutter counter doesn't reset to 0 charge. Is there any way to reset the battery chip or can I throw the battery away now?

Not sure but I think I have the same problem with my 60D since the last nightly. I will try and confirm later.

It's only this one battery. I have a bunch of others and those still work fine.

I have a 6d and I noticed that when you turn your camera on, battery level is often 100%.
Just keep it on for several minutes and it will display eventually the right battery level 
The camera is probably doing some start up sequence and reading out the battery charge level is at the end of the to do list...

When I write always, I mean always... It stays 100% right until the camera shuts down due to low voltage...

Found a way to reset the chips. After the problem occurred with 2 more batteries, I tried sucking the batteries dry with my LED lamp and then recharging them and that worked. It also seems that it wasn't related to pulling the batteries. It seems, the charger doesn't reset the chip when the battery isn't completely empty when inserted into the charger.
