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.

my original battery is AL10"A"31. I dont know what the difference between the A or C model is. Try contacting the manufacturer of the replacement battery. What I can share with you is this replacement is still working perfectly.

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.

How do I find out what is wrong with this battery? I did not know that you aren't supposed to use the regular battery tenders on these kind of batteries and I left it charging for a couple of days and now it is beyond dead. So if the tender didn't kill it, apparently (also read just now in the questions section) if it drops below 8% charge it is no longer anything but a paperweight? So tell me now if I should just go out and buy a new battery after wasting my money on the 1 ride I got out of this battery.

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.

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

I used alkaline batteries that I bought from Harbor Freight with a coupon. My shift starts at 5:00 am, and by early afternoon they were getting pretty weak. I anticipated that and took spares. As far as I was concerned, it was win, win! After all, the heated soles are for comfort. The batteries were not expensive. We heat our houses in winter also. That costs.

I've used only alkaline batteries in them. But you can use any type of AA batteries. I like them a lot.

I use regular AA batteries, but only use my older version of the product. The new one seems to snag, thus my negative review.

I would recommend you contact the seller. They are really quick at replying. Great battery but I followed the charging instructions to a tee.

I had the same problem with the one I ordered so I opened up the battery case to see if maybe the betteries were bad or missing. They has become badly oxidied in the case and so were obviously very old. I pried the suckers out with a screw driver, threw them away (being careful not to touch them with skin in case they were leaking any fluids), cleaned the inside with a clorox wipe, and popped some new batteries in and it has worked great ever since. Give that a try and I hope this helps!

My battery has been working fine. I am not sure what battery you're talking about. I used it for over 3 weeks and just had to recharge it today. I am guessing they are shipping with better batteries.

Hey J YO,It's hard to say. I haven't actually charged them yet. I used them out of the package, factory charge and they are STILL going. I'll update you once I charge and use them a couple times. The factory charge, thus far, is our performing ANY rechargeable I've ever used, and any alkaline, for that matter. It also may be the charger though. I did not purchase a new charger for these batteries as I already have two. Have you been charging yours with an old charger?

The batteries I have are A23. The A23S is marked as super plus and a replacement for A23. Hope this helps...

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?

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..
