My lithium battery has died out. can I use conventional batteries, chargeable or non- chargeable ?????

check the mhr on the batteries you use
they should be re-chargeable batteries as alkaline batteries do not have what it takes and run down very quickly
the re-chargeable battery should be around the 2000 mhr rating

Lithium batteries work good.

The Eco watches do not use a conventional battery.
Rather they use a re-chargeable 'accumulator' instead The size and type varies by calibre but the B020 is as below:

Hi! It sounds like a software issue. Although easyshares didn't have to load patches, it is possible this one may require it. As far as the batteries are concerned, this camera eats a lot of batteries. You should use re-chargeable lithium batteries. It doesn't really matter what brand you get, but be sure to get lithium rather than alkaline batteries. Lithium batteries are better suited for the burst discharge needs of a digital cam. Please make sure that your software is v.4.0. Please do rate this solution as FixYa and revert for further assistance. Thanks Rylee

Thats because of a hardware error

backup battery might be a non chargeable lithium battery inside th epda somehwere in the back or inside the housing try changing it it is not chargeable

Yes, but do not expect your ni-cad batteries to last as long.

It is a high-powered camera, also knows as a GREAT camera. Use CRV-3 lithium duracell batteries. I have the same camera and the same "problem", but when I use that battery it lasts forever.

Going from memory, I think you have to remove the small rubber pads on the underside. On some types, you would also have to remove the model label on the underside. This should expose the screws to take it apart.

The cordless mouse uses Lithium chargeable batteries. Don't put standard type non chargeable batteries inside.

You may find the cost of the proper batteries to come close to the replacement value of the mouse.
