Recommended mAh for Oly SP570UZ?
Wondering what the recommended mAh level is for AA rechargeable
for this camera. 2500 was suggested at the store, but I'm not sure what might be best. I do want long life, but at the same time I want to make sure that the batteries are safe, cool, constant and predictable. I don't know if 2700 might be an issue, or 2200, etc. My Oly C5050 specified 1700mAh and came with 4 of those. But this SP570UZ came with alkaline with no recommendation on rechargeables. I'd appreciate some helpful advice on this. Thanks |

Thanks As long as the manual states that NiMh can be used, I would only ever use either Sanyo Eneloops (2000mAh) or Uniross Hybrios or Maha Imedion (both 2100mAh), all low self-discharge types. They perform better than any other type of NiMh in the real world and are always ready to use when left in the cam, unlike ordinary NiMh which are pretty useless after a few weeks. They can also deliver higher current surges than typical so there's no downside. Same charging requirements as ordinary NiMh. |

I wonder, is it likely that my camera could handle just about any level of mAh? Like the Delkin 2300mAh low discharge? Or the Delkin 2900mAh regular discharge? Is there any sort of limitation regard? Could a 2900mAh do any damage to the camera? Or are all batteries safe to use provided they are of good quality and safely and properly charged? Thanks again. |

The mAh rating is a measure of capacity, not output. So you'll be fine with any rating. So the camera would be perfectly safe if I used 1100mAh or 2900mAh rechargeables? It absolutely makes no difference at all? There is just no way that the host device using these batteries could be damaged no matter the mAh value? Thanks much. I'm a bit dense, so need this stuff drilled into my head with repeated confirmation... |

But as long as you don't mix battery types you should be fine... barring the occasional act of god. :-) A quick search brought up this... http://www.starbatteries.com/batteryfaqs.html ....which might help set your mind at ease you. I've certainly had no problem using any flavour of AA rechargeable in several cameras over the years. Andrew McP |

Thank you very much for the replies and the tone. At the end of a busy day, it is refreshing not to be chastized for having "Brain Fade". Best Wishes, DB |
