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'd check the numbers on the battery and see if any Ebay seller might have replacements. Or check on the net for phone batteries. Call ATT (it's their phone) and have them order the batteries.

I have ordered several of these batteries with no issues... I suggest you send it back and get a different one.

I have been put some new aa batteries in, but it doesn't work. Maybe it is a defective.

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.

I have 2. They do not work. I would never buy these again. Do you think that this is an endorsement of these batteries?

Hi W.J. Two thoughts here. First, I'm not happy with the performance of the battery's life -- seem to work OK for low power items (i.e. wireless mouse), but fall way short of the mark for higher demand items (flashlight) -- I'd guess 10 to 15% of an Alkaline battery life. That said, and in all fairness, it appears there were a number of 'knock-offs' introduced into the selling stream. I'm not sure if mine were part of the counterfit lot. The customer service group at Eneloop aren't the easiest to work with either. I invested about $350 in batteries, cases, charger, sleeves. I wish I could get my money back and move on. Sorry to share my disappointing experience. I hope yours is better.

Not OK, but not uncommon. Many are apparently shipped with junk alkaline batteries marked "not for retail sale." I got the low-battery alarm 1 week after installation, and the battery failed the load test on my VOM, despite the claimed fresh-until date of "2018." A product with a claimed 7-year lifespan needs a quality lithium 9V, which costs about $6, an added expense that should be factored into the REAL cost of this item, IMO.

I had the same problem. New batteries did not make any difference. I sent it back to amazon and got my money back. Don't know why they keep selling these, I posted the problems I had with it months ago. I guess Amazon doesn't care. If someone sends it back they refund the money, but many don't send them back and amazon is ahead. George Jensen

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.

Unscrew the back and drop out one battery. The original is of higher voltage than a normal 1.5 AA cell. But it does work just

The instructions booklet says, "Replace old battery with an alkaline type LR41 or a silver oxide equivalent." Hope this helps.

Hello, no I just put this new battery in and it works great!!! I have had really good luck with it and happy I purchased it. Hope you have the same success as I have with this battery.

I've had very good luck with low self discharge NiMh AA batteries. You just want to make sure the batteries are all in good condition. One bad cell will reduce it a lot.

As far as I know you must replace the batteries, not charge them. And it is poorly designed electrically/electronically to use any type of rechargeable battery. I know as I tired. It drains a rechargeable to darn quick. Alkaline are not much better, even though it was designed for those. I went back to using manual mechanical ones.

Check Battery Placement..There's a small switch where you indicate Rechargewable or Alcaline Battery Type! Be sure it incicates the Battery Type Ur Using! That's all I can think of! Good Luck!

My advice is to try to return it to the store or to Canon. Mine ate batteries, both rechargeables and regular alkalines, so I returned it. There are so many good reviews on this model that perhaps you and I each got defective ones.
