Common Types of Camera Batteries

Depending on the type of digital camera you have, your device may be powered by disposable or rechargeable batteries. To help you narrow down the right camera battery charger for your needs, it's important to understand the basic differences between the most common types of digital camera batteries:

Rechargeable AA and AAA Batteries

While you may be able to use disposable AA or AAA batteries in your camera, opting for a rechargeable version is the more cost-effective and environmentally friendly option. Look for a digital camera charger that's capable of charging these types of batteries within an hour, and choose a charger with a built-in backlight display to alert you to its charging status.

Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Batteries

The most commonly used type of battery in digital cameras, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are lightweight, powerful and compact in size. These batteries hold a long charge and offer reliable performance.

Rechargeable NiMH Batteries

Just like lithium-ion batteries, NiMH batteries can be recharged within just an hour or two. However, they may not hold as long of a charge as lithium-ion batteries.

Use Your Digital Camera Charger Correctly to Preserve Battery Life

After purchasing the right digital camera charger for your make and model, make sure you use it properly to preserve battery life. In addition to reading your user's manual, follow these simple tips to get the best results from your camera battery charger:

Don't Use the Charger in Extreme Temperatures

Refrain from using the charger in temperatures that fall below freezing or exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Extreme temperatures may reduce charge acceptance or damage the batteries.

Let the Batteries Cool

If you attempt to recharge your batteries immediately after use, they may be too hot for the charger to handle. Let the batteries cool off before recharging them.

Unplug the Charger After Use

One of the easiest ways to threaten the longevity of your digital camera charger and batteries is to leave the charger plugged in all the time. Unplug the unit as soon as you're finished recharging your batteries.

Properly Connect the Charger

Some digital camera chargers feature electrical prongs that connect into a USB port, which features an attachment to plug directly into the wall. Others include a USB port that plugs into a USB adapter. Understand specifically how your unit works so you can use it safely.
