I have this old Nikon CoolPix L4 Digital Camera.
Recently I bought some new AA batteries at a local store.
The battery brand is: Grundig.
On the battery it says (non-rechargable)
975 mAh 1.5V Plus AA/R6
The original batteries (rechargeable) it says:
GP 2500
250A AHC 1.2V typical 2450 mAh
When I tried to power on the coolpix L4 with the new batteries, it comes on briefly, the camera extends, the LCD display comes on, but then the camera wants to shutdown and either says: Batteries drawned... or some other error.
Apperently these batteries don't work well with this Camera and the Camera gets confused ?!
I suspect it could be the volts or the ampere ?! Perhaps the volts causing over-voltage ?!
Or perhaps the digital camera battery detector detects it wrongly ?!?
Is there risk of blowing this camera up with 1.5 volt batteries instead of 1.2 volt batteries ?!
I share this story with you as an example of another nice electronics industry fuck up example !
Bye for now,
Skybuck.
