Lithium AA batteries NOT Ok in specifications listed from factory???

The battery settings available are for Alkaline disposable AA (1.5 V), NiMH rechargeables (1.2 V), or Lithium AA disposables (1.8 V). The internal voltage regulator programming needs to be set during camera setup) This was also true of the S1500. THe new slow self -discharge NiMH are reliable, and are sold precharged. I own only one camera that doesn't use them, and I always keep an extra set or two charged. the ones replaced are charged and then become the standby.

It could be labeled as 2AH. Smaller batteries such as these are traditionally labeled in mAh.

I am, as a matter of fact, using lithium batteries. But I can't see how that could make a difference. Any AA batteries (lithium or alkaline) should work. I can't be sure of course but I think your problem most likely comes from something other than the batteries.

Usually like a watch it lithium battery not an alkaline such as a AA. They are much more expensive than standard batteries

These are not lithium batteries, they're Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH). In my opinion, NiMH is a superior chemistry over the original (OEM) Nickel Cadmium cells for both capacity and run-time. Lithium has a much better storage life than either, but they also sell at a premium price which I can't justify. So the choice is yours, you can try to find someone that will sell a lithium chemistry in this style of battery pack for 2x the price, but I don't remember having ever seen one... Good luck, Gordon

I see this question asked a lot. There are NO "AA" Li-Ion batteries. There are "AA" sized 14500 cells, but they are NOT interchangeable with any type of "AA" cell. Li-Ion 14500 cells have a nominal voltage of 3.7V (4.2V fresh off charge), while normal "AA" cells are 1.5V for disposables, and 1.2-1.4V for rechargeable types (Ni-Cad/NiMH). Putting 14500 Li-Ion cells into anything designed for "AA" batteries will fry the device instantly. There are also non-rechargeable Lithium "AA" cells, like the Energizer L91, and while those are slightly higher in voltage (1.7V) they usually can be substituted for standard "AA" cells. I would only recommend those in devices that take few cells (1-4). For devices that use a lot of cells (6 or more) the cumulative voltage of the Lithium "AA" cells could be dangerous.

M_ENGLE and DUSTY comments contradicts what Bob commented...I want to use this device for load testing and confirm the condition of any battery......who am i to be believe now, because am about to place order.

Designed only for NiCad and NiMH. I haven't and won't try lithium or other batteries.

Not to come across as a smart a.., if it says don't use above 2000mah, why would you?? Having said that, I bought my battery and charger as a matched kit, so they were compatible. You might look to see what charger works with your battery

For lithium batteries, the voltage quoted is the minimum voltage. So this battery has a minimum voltage of 11.1V, maximum 12.4V.

Yes they are Lithium Ion, the listing is wrong under battery cell type, it should say Lithium Ion.

Hi E, Bastien the batteries that I received was (ultrafire) BRC18650 4000mAh 3.7V li-ion . I have to charger them for a day 24hrs and after that I put the battery in and use it mostly on low power and still on the first charge no problems with them at this time ,,

Totally agreed!!! so I'm planning to buy the spare battery... I think Amazon needs to correct the misleading information regarding the specification of UL30A!!

The voltage specs mention 3.6 V. If the AA battery used has a voltage different from 1.2V, it could create such a problem. Many AA batteries give out 1.5V, which means 4.5V on a 3 pack - which is a load on the system and can perhaps fry up some circuits causing the sensor to malfunction.

They're not Lithium or NiMH batteries, they are rechargeable "Li-ion" batteries. Big difference between Lithium and Li-ion.

Sorry. I have the 44901 lithium not the 44900 std battery. FWIW. Amp draw has to be marginal Best flashlight I've ever owned BTW.
