I've had the batteries remain at 100% for some time (don't know how long). However, I'm not surprised that they would deplete some shortly after being charged. It's not like they're not totally off - they still need to maintain connection with the base. There could be a bit of a signal problem causing the cameras to have to work harder to maintain a connection. If it's only one camera, swap them around to see if it follows the camera or position. You might as well let them run for a while, too, to see if it was just an initial issue or continuing one.
