I typically use the Rayovac Maximum Plus bats, but got some Energizers on sale.

I tried the Energizers in my UK4AA's (LED and incan), and found that the Energizers either wouldn't fire up the light or would do so intermittently, sometimes after shaking.

The Rayovac's negative end sticks out a bit more than the Energizer, so I think the Rayovacs are making better contact.

Anyone else have this issue?

The rayovacs have probably squashed the spring slightly through use, try pulling spring out a bit with pliers.

Hmm...makes sense.

But, there doesn't appear to be a spring.
