Digital camera – Rechargeable AA Lithium batteries…?
Anyone know if there is such thing as rechargeable AA lithium batteries?
I ask because my current digital camera drains most of my rechargeable batteries from 40 minutes to 60 minutes.
By the way, my camera is the Samsung S1050 …which I’ve brought a few days ago for £100.
Thank you for viewing my post..
No, there are no such things are rechargeable lithium AAs. There’s only the disposable kind right now.
Your camera drains your rechargeable AAs quickly? Then there’s a few things to check:
1) make sure you’re using NiMH batteries and not NiCd (Nickel Cadmium) rechargeables. NiCd won’t last as long and they have a memory.
2) make sure your charger is actually charging the batteries adequately. Some chargers don’t do as well as others. If you can, charge each battery by itself (a single channel charger) instead of as pairs (a dual channel charger) as the battery with the least charge can determine when the charger cuts off.
3) One final thing: many newer cameras really require a lot of current in a quick way. Rechargeable batteries with higher internal resistance may have lots of capacity, but may not be able to overcome the internal resistance to deliver it, sort of like a bicycle messenger who can’t ride over too big a hill. You may want to look at Sanyo Eneloops or similar pre-charged NiMH batteries which have a much lower internal resistance (think: smaller hill to climb), which means the battery gives up current much more easily, resulting in a longer usable life. These kinds of batteries are sold as “pre-charged” NiMH rechargeables because they hold a charge for a long time when sitting on the shelf.
4) Practice good power management: don’t leave the screen on when you’re not using it. LCD screens really suck up power.
