Originally posted by gaweidert In the US you can get 1.5v AA lithium batteries. AAA too. I use them in my weather station as they still work well when it is cold out. As stated above, check batteries are installed right and check the contacts on the battery grip and clean the contacts on both the grip and the camera.
It is also possible to install the grip incorrectly if you are not careful. I learned this from personal experience. A removal and reinstall may do the trick.

Didn't know about AA lithium 1.5 V batteries. Sorry. For me it's Alkaline 1.5V. Lithium... no thanks. RuiC

"Although the higher OCV of the LiFeS2 system is 1.8 volts, the nominal or rated voltage is 1.5 volts which makes it a suitable replacement for alkaline and nickel systems. The battery voltage will drop when it is placed under load. For this reason, the higher OCV
will typically not damage electronic components, but device designers should take into consideration that the OCV of fresh
batteries can range from 1.79 to 1.83V."
