The rechargable battery in the XR-S has a bulge on the side witch pushes a switch inside the camera allowing it to be recharged. The normal (not rechargable) cells do not have this bulge and thus there is no danger of them beig charged by the camera. I have replaced the original rechargable cell with a CR1/3N Li-Mn bcell, works fine. Guess I now have a XR-S ;)
