QuickTake 100: Use NiCad not Alkaline Batteries (5/96)



I am trying to use alakine batteries with my QuickTake 100 camera, but I have to frequently replace the batteries. If I leave the alkaline batteries in the QuickTake 100 for a week or so, then try to take pictures, I cannot even fill the camera twice. Is there a way to extend the life of alkaline batteries in my QuickTake 100 camera?


Alkaline batteries exhibit an extremely short life when used with the QuickTake 100 camera, and should only be used when rechargable batteries (NiCads) are not available. Not matter what brand of alkaline batteries you use, you must remember that they will not last long in the QuickTake 100 camera. The best and preferred recommendation for lasting performance is to use lithium batteries. The second best choice is to use NiCads. The reasons for these recommendations are directly related to the current/voltage demands of the camera and the individual battery characteristics.



The QuickTake 100 and QuickTake 150 use AA Batteries.
