BMPCC plugged in for extended period at DVinfo.net

I never know when I'm going to need to grab a camera and go so I left two cameras plugged in through the standard charger for a few weeks. Both are dead as doornails.

Not sure if it's the battery or the charger at this point. (Or the camera for that matter)

Anyone out there have a similar issue???

Of course now I need to use one tomorrow!!! Oh well, I can always use the BMCC but would rather carry the smaller cam.

Found the problem - nothing to do with the camera or charger - a GFCI had tripped somewhere and shut down the outlet they were plugged into - all the other outlets were fine so I didn't tumble to what was wrong,

DUUUUHHHHH!!!
