My wife bought me a Nikon Coolpix L810 for Fathers Day this year.
All went well until the original batteries went low.
I decided to replace them (cheap Alkalines) with some Eveready Lithium Batteries, specifically (the package claims) for Camera's.
Camera would not turn on. The "on" light would go on for about three seconds, then nothing.
Contacted Nikon vs their onsite Customer Service Email address. They note that they "Promise" to respond within 24 hours. Three days later and still no response. We emailed daily. Good system!
Searched on the internet to find that this is a common problem, but in perusing about 25 stories, no solution was ever noted.
Finally, out of desperation, I went to the store and bought four new Alkaline Batteries - same as the originals.
Camera started right up, and works fine. Have no idea why this would be, but there IS a "Set-Up" function deep within the Menu where they ask which type of Battery you are using. Pretty hard to change though, if the Camera wont turn on. I guess you need to tell it well beforehand what your future intentions are?
Anyway, thought this might be a good tip if your Nikon Digital even needs replacement batteries.
