Are you using NiCads? NiCads are only 1.2 vdc, where Alkalines are 1.5 vdc,
per cell. Multiply the difference by four cells, and brand new, fully
charged NiCads would produce 4.8 vdc, where Alkalines would produce 6 vdc.
So NiCads would look 1.2 vdc low, right from the start.

That is why a lot of the newer scanners have two different battery trays,
depending on what type of cells you use. They compensate for the
difference.

I have one of these and the low battery indicator keeps going off even
though the batteries are fine. Any odeas. I know this is an older unit,
but it works well as one of my many scanners.

Thanks...
