Installing AA Batteries

Instead of the optional NiMH battery pack (Installing a NiMH Battery Pack), you can use two alkaline, NiMH, or lithium batteries. This is useful when you are on the trail and cannot charge the NiMH battery pack. Use NiMH or lithium batteries for best results.

NOTE: Standard alkaline batteries are not recommended for the 64sc/csx models when using the camera feature.
