Is the type of AA battery critical? Original battery says Extra Super, replaced them with Alkaline and it won't work. Said "LOW" just before it quit.

Honestly I've used all types of batteries, including rechargeable and I've not had an issue.

I would suggest contacting the seller. Sounds like it might be a bum battery.

Hey Doug, Are you sure it's the ID same number on the new battery and is the battery is a Lithium rechargable. My battery says PBR 55D,3.7 VH, 1000 mAh rechargeable Lithium, the serial number is DC100715UD8. If it's the same then I think it's your power converter and maybe the recharge cord not fitting properly. My battery last about 2-3 days with normal activity like maybe 15-20 text per day, I'm hearing Impaired and use my phone for TEXTING ONLY,check the power cord and the connection, That all I can think of, Good Luck. E-mail me if you want joelted@comcast.net Joel

My husband said the acid was low in the battery. He was able to use a medicine dropper to get the acid out. Once he did that and used the liquid solution our batteries are working fine.

If you're saying the plastic piece broke between the terminals then yes I had thatproblem. Just make sure connections touch at the outsides of the + and - terminal and it works fine. I sent them an email about it and they sent 2 New batteries but the old ones still work... I think the casing is a little less than grade a but the batteries themselves with great. It's worth it to me and doesn't seem dangerous. Good luck

I'm experiencing the same exact thing.The batteries that it came with are AA R6 1.5v and i replaced them with duracell AA 1.5LR6 and it wouldnt work so i just ordered the R6 and hopefully that solves the problem but there are slight size variations in the two so maybe thats it.I will update when replacements come in.

I had trouble with swapping the battery. I think I had two batteries of the right size, pried this open just fine, but once I FORCED the two batteries in, they were too tall (by the tiniest amount) and were constantly pressing on the chip's button. Has anyone run into that? I'll see if I can find those batteries that didn't fit and double-check their type.

Exactly the same thing happened to me. If anyone knows of another brand or reseller that might actually sell good quality batteries it would be a good idea to hear from them.

Buy a good brand such as Eneloop batteries or BP, type AA do not use cheap generic brands of China, if not better alkaline batteries. Greetings.

I was able to replace my battery. But right now its always blinking on one bar. It seems to be charging now though so I will be patient and let it charge. Hope fully bars will return. When its charging the bars blink right? Mine doesn't do that anymore. @Richard L How did it strip the battery case?

You might want to try different battery like an alkaline (I found that Duracell works the best) but I have received some that were defective.

The best advice I can give you to be sure you have thr right replacement is to replace it with one with the same part number as the number on the original battery.. If you want a stronger battery go to a higher AH rating that is compatible with your part number..

Heyy, try using just a regular battery. Positive is red or with a code written on it and negative is the solid black. I tested all before installing and only one didn't work. Hope this helps :)

Same experience here. Found out over the weekend and did not have any AAA handy. Hope it's just cheap batteries. Will update.

the battery I got did fit perfectly BUT didn't work, I think it has the polarity wrong . It would not charge and did not play in the radio. Not sure what the problem was however. I put the old battery back into radio and it worked. Old battery just doesnt hold charge long enough.

You should be able to unscrew the end cap (the end with the on/off switch). Insert AA battery positive end first;screw the cap back on. It should work.

I had a bad battery. Make sure you charge the battery correctly. These are balance battery.
