I have 1.2v Eneloop batteries which does not seems to work with 580EX II. Has anyone else encountered the same problem? Do you know which brand would work with this speedlite?
Thats odd, I have been using Eneloop AA R6 1.2v 2000mah for years in a 580 EX Mk1 for years without any problem.
Does the flash work with non rechargeable batteries?
It won't even switch on. Works fine with normal not rechargeable batteries. I am using Panasonic eneloop lr6 so wondering if this is anything to do with LR6
If the batteries work on your Nikon flashes but not the canon flash then i would say the batteries are working.
Equally if your canon flash works with normal batteries then your flash is fine too.
The only issue can be the flashes acceptance of those batteries.
Ive used 580 mk2's loads for weddings with a combination of eneloops and 7dayshop batteries with no issue.
Why don't you contact Canon and explain what's happening and see if they have a solution? They may well look at the flash for you in case it's a simple fix.
Another stupid question...you are putting them in the right way round? Easy to do it wrong - I know I've done it myself. The label on the lid can be confusing to the unwary.
I did have one cell die on me, just wouldn't accept a charge. Are all yours accepting a charge? However saying that I've never had any other problems with Envelops, except getting them back if I've lent any out.
