first battery: zinc-powered, everyready brand, not rechargeable

= didn't even budged to power up

second battery: alkaline, mistushi brand, not rechargeable

= powered up, displayed "Warning!! Battery exhausted"

third battery: energizer brand, rechargeable

= powered up, displayed "Warning!! Battery exhausted" too

what should i do? i checked the battery compartment already and no signs of corrosion naman.
