Canon charger for camera battery goes off before battery charged

Hi Folks,
I have a Canon battery charger for the batteries for my Canon camera. When I put the battery into it the orange charging light comes on for a few minutes, then just goes off. There is a green light that comes on when the battery is fully charged. That isn't coming on, and when I re-insert the battery the orange light comes on again for a few minutes, then goes off without the green light coming on.
In case it's important, the charger has this on the back (presumably its order number?)

I've been trying to charge a Duracell battery in it, which I've never had problems with before.
Last time it worked was with the Canon battery that came with camera. I don't want to try that out as still have a fair amount of charge in it, and don't want to mess it up!
Before I spend money I'd like to ask your opinion(s) as to whether I need to get new charger or ditch the battery. Or both?
I hate to be without my camera! :eek: I'm not yet, but dependent on usage I will be soon! Help!

So the battery you are having issues with is a third party battery?
Is this the right battery for the charger?
If it is I'd say the battery is duff.0 -

Yes it's not a Canon battery, but it has charged fine before, and worked fine in the camera. It's a Duracell, so while a lot cheaper than the Canon batteries are, I thought it was a decent compromise.
Many thanks for your reply. Gives me something to go on with. I guess I'll go for a new Canon battery first - it'll be useful anyway even if it doesn't solve my problem! At which time I guess I'll have to get new charger.

It can happen with compatibles, Duracell are more often faked too because they are a brand name.0
