Fully discharge lithium’s periodically.

I have NIKON lithium’s that are in their 13th year.

Oh, okay, LWW … I'll try that … see if that takes care of it …

It seems, every time, I return to the 60D (after a few hours, or a few days) - it's dead, again …

Could NOT figure out what makes it discharge, constantly ….

Thanks, LWW …

If it’s going dead on that manner I’m guessing the battery is toast.

LWW - most of my DSLRs have at least TWO backups … some of the bridges, also, but usually, only one per.

I suspect, the problem is more related to the camera, and the way it interacts with the battery.

I've read that page with the tips … very enlightening, but nothing there really jelled ….

If the problem DOES NOT happen with the other batteries, then its the battery.

If the problem persists across all batteries then its the camera body or the charger.

How old is the battery? sooner or later ALL batteries fail. The longest lasting non rechargeable batteries are those in pacemakers. And they eventually fail as well

I bought the 60D in February, 2012, Bob … so, that's what, now … seven years, even - huh?

run it down so that it is dead, then recharge, I have not had this happen to a CANON LP-E6, only 3rd party once in a while

I've had it happen with aftermarket batteries, but never with Canon batteries up to around eight years old. Just the same, any battery can develop an internal short. As stated above, try another battery in the camera: if the same thing happens, the short or partial short is in the camera. If not, the battery is bad.
If the camera shows a full charge when the battery is inserted, it can't be the charger.
