Is There A Recall Or A Problem With The S8000 Battery?

It does not appear that the battery can be charged.  I bought a new battery, and the same  problem.  Will not charge.

My wife and I just figured this out on hers: Make sure you close the battery door after plugging the charger into the A/V out port. If the battery door is open, the camera won't turn on or charge. Here's a link to the Nikon site, where I found this: http://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/16862/kw/won't%20charge/r_id/116678

I hated the thought of opening the little rubber tab and pluging in the cord (dust and dirt etc) so I bought a seperate battery charger that plugs into the wall. It cost about $15 and I got a second battery as wel because the shooing time on the original won'tget me through a day.

Actually, my camera is having that same problem, however I don't believe it's the battery. It's a problem with the charger. I've ordered a new charger, and I'm almost positive that's what the problem is.
