Camera Batteries

by snapshot2 Forum moderator May 4, 2006 8:11AM PDT

If the batteries are AA size, you should get rechargeable NiMH batteries. They will last about 4 to 5 times as long as Alkaline batteries.

A NiMH charger kit (with batteries) costs from $10 to $20.

If your batteries are AAA size, you most likely have purchased a toy camera. You can get NiMH charger kits for AAA size batteries but they cost more.
