Battery question
"Bob Larter" wrote in message ... JEP wrote: I very rarely use my digital camera, so most of the time it sits in a drawer unused. When I do use it - either for family shots or on vacation - I usually take no more than a couple dozen snaps in a day. In other words, my camera gets used very infrequently...and when it does get used, it gets fairly light usage. The camera is a 6 year old point-and-shoot Nikon Coolpix 2100 (2 megapixel) that uses AA batteries. I have been using rechargable Energizer NiMH batteries, 2500 mAh. My problem is that the batteries are almost always dead whenever I need my camera; I have to recharge them every time. They seem to be drain within a week or so. That's standard for NiMH cells, unfortunately. When not in use, I leave mine in a charger to keep them topped up. What would be best for my needs: slow-discharge rechargable NiMH...Lithium...something else? Lithium cells have a very low self-discharge rate. If your camera is compatible with them, they are probably the best choice. -- W . | ,. w , "Some people are alive only because \|/ \|/ it is illegal to kill them." Perna condita delenda est ---^----^--------------------------------------------------------------- Sometimes there isnt a good answer to a problem. I use my cam a lot my wife doesnt. My wife just needs to get organised and charge the batteries when she knows she will use the cam. I always keep a set charged. Soooooo..... You need to be just a bit more organised and stop finding fault with the batteries. Just my opinion! |
