I made the decision not to talk much in public about the so-called Dead Battery Syndrome when it became obvious that this was a real issue. For those that haven't been following along, what happens is that the camera--usually with a big AF-S/VR lens on the body--will suddenly report low battery and lock up, even if the battery has plenty of charge. Both the recent D300 and D3 firmware updates now include a "fix" for the problem. There's only one problem with that: I've gotten similar reports from D80, D200, and D2 series body users, including another one today from a D80 user that was obviously the same problem. So what's the fix for them, Nikon?
