This is a finepix A345 that uses two AA cells. Ran fine for years then I
decided to save some money with rechargables so I got an energizer charger
and some 2500 mah NIMH batteries and all was fine.
Somewhere along the way I bought some Empire Scientific Batteries and thats
when the love affair began.
The Camera will only power on with two of the Empire batteries and no
others. I have tried rechargable and even went through several new packages
of alkalyne batteries before I convinced myself that there were only two
battries that would turn this camera on.
I pull them out and they read 1.28 and 1.3 volts which is similar to other
rechargables so I'm totally baffled and open to any theories.
The only other thing I did notice was with a set of new alkaline batteries
that read 1.5&1.52 V the camera would occasionally come on but power off as
soon as I released the power button
Thanks in Advancve

maybe those cells are larger in length and you stretched to spring
inside so that other cells can not make connection any more?
just a thought.
