I use only rechargeables. See if you can find a brand that is rated at least 750 mAh. I did have a backlight issue (see my review). Sandisk responded that the backlight will not respond if the battery is low, even though the player will still play. All the more reason to use rechargeables, since if you really need the backlight, you'll be throwing away good batteries before they're completely used up.

No idea. I used regular batteries. I put them in 3 months ago& still flashes. However you don't even need the flash cuz they look so real anyway.

Brand new R1 kit from Amazon. Also Tenergy 900mah 3.0V RCR123A rechargeable batteries w/ charger from Amazon. Flash units will not work with these batteries. Would like to know the secret from someone who made it work.

Im sure it will work. However I do not have this flash anymore. It broke after two weeks and I returned it.

Yes. I just used it. I have about 50 hours on it and it has been reliable and produces a very controlled flash.

1. No. The flash cannot keep up with camera's ability to shoot continuously. 2. Yes. 3. Between 1-2 seconds with new batteries, significantly slower after several consecutive shots. Please note my review -Once this thing is out of warranty, it becomes a "throwaway" unit - no repair parts, no matter how simple, are available from the US Distributor

No, this flashlight can not use rechargeable batteries. Only standard non-rechargeable CR123A batteries are recommended by Foursevens. It does come with one CR123A battery though.

Hello, I had the same problem but I started using Rechargeable Energizer batteries and it last long even when using flash for each photo. So I say use Energizer brand if your not. Hope this helps.

Not sure. First make sure your flash has the proper connection for the adapter of the battery pack.

Batteries. I use rechargeable batteries but have to recharge them external from the camera.

It takes AA batteries and I don't think that you can use rechargeable but I'm not sure. Our batteries have lasted a long time so I don't think you will have a problem.

Regular Lithium Ion batteries might be ok, but I would check with Canon first; they don't mention those in their manual and definitely do not use rechargeable Lithium ion batteries in this camera unless Canon says it's ok to do so. I was looking at a Nikon camera where they specifically mentioned that you can use regular Lithium ion batteries but not rechargeable Lithium ion batteries.

I have had very good success with the chargeable batteries. I really like the flash lights I have two and a charger.
