Question For Fellow D-70 Owners
Discussion
You won't regret it.
The mystery deepens
*cue music*
As I've been wandering around shooting (3 gigs so far...), I've been using the CR2's, or at least trying them out. Funny thing is, the day after I posted about them not working, I put the same batteries back in, and the camera showed full power. Shot about 60 or so more shots until it said they were dead. Waited a few more hours... and sure enough, it showed they were full again.
Maybe I should finally update the firmware? I downloaded the file and it is setting on my desktop, I just haven't gotten around to loading it into the camera yet...
Oh and look forward to a pictures post as soon as I get back to a computer with a memory card reader... these Internet terminals on the ship just aren't doing it for me.

No mystery, that's the nature of 'normal' batteries. You give them a rest, and they get a small lease of life. But that's not very helpful if you're in the middle of a shoot and have to say to the airshow organiser 'Can you just ask all the planes to circle for a few hours while my
crap cheap horrible batteries recover?' 
Now will you please throw them away and buy Li-Ions?
