Batteries provide backup power when electricity is not within easy reach. This is a good reason why people should make it a point to stock batteries at home. The same goes for those who own digital cameras.
But if you think digital cameras (digi-cam) share a common battery type, you just have to think again. Batteries for use in digi-cams differ in sizes, capacity and types.
Alkaline disposable battery. This is the traditional battery we all know that comes in various sizes such as the AA and AAA. This is also the disposable one. This type of battery is known as such because it contains an alkaline electrolyte of potassium hydroxide.
Alkaline rechargeable battery. There are some alkaline batteries that can be recharged. They are available in various sizes of AA, AAA, C, D and the 9-volt type. They can even have their charge for years unlike the other types of rechargeable batteries.
Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) battery. This is a rechargeable type of battery which has the ability to retain its charge even when not in use. The downside of this is that it has a shorter lifespan and one needs to have it fully discharged first before recharging.
Nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery. This is another type of rechargeable battery which offers a longer life and is very affordable. However, this battery loses its charge when not in use. It is ideal to recharge it first before using even when they were not used for just a short time.
Lithium battery. This type costs more than the alkaline battery but has a longer life compared to the alkaline AA. This rechargeable battery can even perform well during cold weather. It’s highly recommended, however, to check its compatibility with your digital camera before buying this battery.
Now that you know the existing batteries for digital cameras, it’s best to check which ones are compatible to your gadget. Read your camera’s instruction manual to know which one you should use. But you may ask which battery brands are the best to use?
If you’re using the alkaline, these brands are the most widely used. They include Duracell, Energizer, Kodak and Rayovac. If you’re not sure which to choose, you can always ask the help of the sales attendant of the store. I’m sure they know the most widely bought brand.
