 Sound advice Ted!  I read your caveat before & sure enough,
 shooting a Civil War battle re-enactment, my winder crashed.
 It took putting my "body battery case" back on to get the
 rewind button back up & the camera running. 
 
 I've got two R8 winders & every so often, the same one
 will "flake" out in a similar fashion. A bit of a pain ;-)!

Have unfortunately had similar problems.  Seems like every time I turn around
the batteries in my R8 winder are dead.
