If it is taking a day to charge, it is unlikely to be a capacitor. More likely a small rechargeable.

If a small rechargeable, how do you replace it. Cant find a entry point.

You don't. Repair house job if needed, but it's doubtful that it will be needed.
I've never kept any digital camera long enough for it to be a problem. Always upgrading, although this process has slowwede down since we bought the K20D bodies.

Especially when charged at 100v and dropped in someone's pocket!

100v is for wusses. We do 300 and 600v DC.

600 Coulombs !
With a 1 second discharge it will average 600A ... that might just be felt!

Folks, most cameras, computers and other stuff with a built in clock use a small cell on the motherboard - more like large button cells. These last as long as five years.

While not particularly large capacitors can indeed be deadly, don't forget the batteries! A direct short across any lithium battery is much more likely to hurt (a result of the possible explosion) than anything from a capacitor deep inside the camera.
