Garmin 60 csx

I have a garmin 60 csx and I tried to install a pair of new Energizer
Ultimate Lithium batteries and they don't seem to like the garmin it
starts but then the screen fades away. the batteries are good I tried
them in a flashlight and they worked very brightfor several minutes. I
hoping somebody might have a suggestion.

Thanks for any help!

Too much voltage. Use them for a while in your flashlight to drain off some
power and then they will function in the 60CSx and still last longer than
normal alkalines.

Old versions of software support 3 choices of batteries. Newer ones
drop support of LiOn. Using a pair of 2800 NiMH should be good for the
whole day.

Did the screen option actually say "LiOn" ?
as I thought that was a rechargeable type,
and I hadn't seen it in the standard AA form factor ?

just a quick followup, since we can't re-edit our posting :)

Lithium AA format - standard AA cells have the standard 1.xx voltage
the Ultimate Lithiums I have sitting here just measured 1.79v

However - Lithium Ion - as found in most internal rechargeable packs,
also can have the AA form factor...

BUT - are usually used for building high capacity power packs.
