Troublestylist replied: "Depends on the camera. 200-300 photos is an average. Any camera that uses AA can use either NiMH or alkaline. Lithium-ion batteries are not made in the AA size due to voltage differences."

j_acuff replied: "There are so many factors to your question, there isn't going to be any really right answer. A camera's manual will oftentimes list how many shots you can get on a full battery. First, a fully charged lithium-ion battery can last for a couple thousand shots or only a couple hundred shots depending on how much you use your LCD (one of the biggest power consumers in a camera.) If you use an optical viewfinder and don't review all your pictures, you can get a lot out of that battery. If your LCD is always on, don't expect to get more than a couple hunderd pictures on a fully charged battery. In digicams it's usually either/or when it comes to batteries. Of course, if it takes AA or AAA batteries, you can always use NiMH or NiCd recargable batteries. Some older digicams had battery grips that would allow using either the Li-ion battery or a AA or AAA battery magazine. Since the emphasis has gotten on smaller, these are hard to find. (For example a Nikon Coolpix 5700 uses EN-EL1 Li-ion battery, but with MB-E5700 grip, you use 6 AA's.) With battery grips for a DSLR, there is often that magazine. For example, I have a Canon 40D that has battery grip BG-E2. I can use either two Li-ion batteries or the magazine that holds 6 AA batteries. I carry that magazine, but I have NEVER used it. I'll usually have two fully charged batteries in the grip and that's enough to last me all day, though I have another fully charged Li-ion battery or two just in case. In general, Li-ion batteries will last much longer than standard AA or AAA batteries."

water_skipper replied: "It depends on the camera. With my Pentax Optio W10 I've never gotten more than 700 on a charge. With my Fujifilm Finepix F10 I can easily beat 1000."

Lithium Ion Battery with Kodak EasyShare Z712IS Camera? I got the Kodak EasyShare Z712IS for my last birthday, and it's a great camera, but it's a battery guzzler. It goes through two brand new double As in about eight minutes! I even tried rechargable batteries and they still don't last very long. I was looking at the Kodak website and it says they have rechargable Lithium Ion batteries that are compatable with my camera, which would be great. Just two things I'm wondering about: A) How long does a Lithium-Ion battery last, and how long does it take to charge? B) Could I use an AC adapter to charge it while it's still in my camera or would I need to buy a battery charger too?

electrodude71394 replied: "lithium ion should be about 7x longer than a normal battery (according to a lithium battery package) check to see whether the ac adapter would charge it on the website"

fhotoace replied: "Batteries do NOT charge in the camera for many reasons, one of which is the heat generated when the battery charges. You must use the battery charger that matches the batteries you use. Li-ion batteries maintain their charges for weeks between uses and typically will produce over 200 images per charge. If treated well, the can last up to 5 years ... or longer"

carrierox2010 replied: "I have a kodak Z812 IS and your problem is you are not suppost to put regular batteries in it. Both my camera and your camera are ment to work with lithium batteries only. A) They last a long time. I just got my camera and it didn't come with a rechargable battery, it came with only a regular battery!! That regular lithium battery lasted me 4 days (and I took pictures all 4 of those days)!! B) You are going to have to buy a battery charger too!! PS. Kodak batteries are expensive I just bought mine off from this site, they are not kodak but it says they will work"

AA Lithium Ion Rechargable Batteries? Why dont they exist? Ive been looking for them and it seems like they dont exist, why is that? There are only Lithium batteries but no Lithium-Ion rechargeable ones.

Keith replied: "The output voltage of a battery depends on it's chemical makeup. A single lithium Ion cells puts out 3.6 volts and to high for the AA size."

Why do rechargable lithium ion batteries swell up after prolonged usage..?? I had been using my phone for two years now when the battery started giving trouble. When i replaced my old battery with a new one i was shocked to see the difference between the two batteries.. The old one had swollen up considerably.. Does this happen to all batteries due to prolonged usage or was this a peculiar case.? If this happens to every battery, why does it happen so..?? Why does the battery swell..??

Norm replied: "Hi NB, The problem of swelling has to do with the chemistry of lithium ion batteries, which reacts unfavorably to overcharging. You can read all about the phenomena here - Norm"

Which battery do you prefer in digital cameras? Lithium Ion Rechargable or regular batteries (no charger)? I know you can always get rechargeable batteries, but I hear that digital cameras use a lot of juice, so you'd probably have to have lots of sets. what do you think?

babenjorge replied: "I have used both, and found out that unfortunatly the Ion ones work longer, but are more expensive. The rechargable ones work but not long at all. I would go with ion 2 they have to be the lithiam ion squared the regular ones are not strong enough"

John Chalinder MT USA GMT -7 replied: "I use Nickle Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries for everything now. They are pricey, but have great power and last a long time if you remember to fully drain them before a recharge, and fully charge them each time you recharge them. My digital camera has it's own rechargable batteries, which are also NiMH. I've had my camera for nearly 6 years now, and am still using the original pair of rechargables I bought with the camera. I think I may have to get a new set some time in the next few months. They don't seem to be holding a charge nearly as long as they once did. But, hey! Six years on one pair of batteries... not bad at all."

hottie replied: "Lithium Ion are the best ones to use they last longer, but they are a bit expensive. Depending on the camera & the user even regular batteries can work well. What I mean by the user is that if you keep the camera display on the whole time as opposed to someone who doesn't, it won't matter what batteries you use you'll certainly cut down on their lasting time. Personally I prefer rechargable Rayovac batteries & I like to have two sets with me just in case. I haven't tried Duracell rechargables so I can't comment on them but in my opinion Rayovac lasts longer than Energizers recharagables. Whatever you decide to use just remember to turn off the cameras display when you're not using it & anyelse that drains the batteries when possible. If it doesn't need to be on then turn the camera off. If you have an AC adapter then try to use it whenever possible."

melijanne replied: "As a photographer I like using the battery pack that comes with the camera. The square type li-ion but for my flash i use disposable AA batteries. I used rechargeable AA batteries and after using them for a while thy don't keep a good charge and don't work good enough. I used to use AA rechargeable on my Kodak easy share but it always had the low battery indicator after taking a few shots. you can use a battery pack if your camera allows for it if not then you can use the disposable li-ion batteries. Depending on how much you use your camera you can try and see what works for you. Disposable batteries aren't cheap so if you want to try and see how the rechargeable batteries work for you then go on ahead. I just used my camera a lot so my rechargeable batteries died quicker then normal. I always have plenty extra no matter how much pictures i will be taking. So never leave with out extra batteries you don't want to miss that perfect shot."

water_skipper replied: "My camera has a lithium ion battery and I've been extremely happy with it. I just ordered a digital SLR that uses rechargeable AA batteries. I hope it's not a step backwards."

i am looking for the best digital camera for under 150.00 that uses lithium ion rechargable batteries.? i now have a hp digital camera that eats the battery time and really would not like another camera that uses just plain batteries. any help?

Elvis replied: "check out the canon sd1000"

kay replied: "Casio Exilim Zoom is a good camera."

VINTAGE MUSIC replied: "You are missing out on plenty of cameras by not choosing one that takes AA batteries....and I do mean rechargeable. Remember regular alkaline AA batteries are not designed to power a digital camera. AA rechargeables are. PS- I also see that HP is not the best on battery life. A camera that is excellent on battery life would be the Canon PowerShot A560. But it takes 2 AA rechargeable batteries."

one replied: "I Think You Are Missing-Out on Some Great Cameras. Why Not Try Using 'AA' Rechargeable Batteries? I Use These And Get Hundreds Of Shots Per Charge And If They 'Die' While I'm Away From Home, I Can Use 'Alkaline' Batteries Till I Can Recharge. P.S. Some Cameras Get Better Battery 'Mileage' Than Others Check Websites For Comparison."

anthony h replied: "Not for $150. At that price range, the cameras use AAs. The best choice is to get AA NiMH rechargeable batteries with as high a milliamp hour rating as you can get (around 2500 mAh or better). I like the Eveready NiMH batteries."

VicSEO replied: "I would highly recommend a Canon PowerShot SD1000, however, it's priced at around $179. The SD1000 is the best buy for a rechargeable lithium battery powered camera and has its own separate battery charger. Nevertheless, there are factory ed Nikon Coolpix S9s available for $130 which are also powered by a rechargeable lithium battery and comes with a separate battery charger. A unique feature of the S9 is the built-in 3X optical lense that does not expand when the camera is turned on, plus the slow-mo video feature that allows you to take timed frames per second/minute beginning with x seconds up to 10 minutes in order to provide a complete series of pictures, say of a flower blooming or even as a surveillance camera. The factory ed S9 is offered at samys.com. and comes with a full 90-day factory warranty. Good luck!"

water_skipper replied: "I've been extremely happy with my Fujifilm Finepix F10. It uses a little rectangular lithium ion battery. I've taken over a thousand picture on one charge with it, although I almost never use the flash. The best part is, I don't have to remove the battery to recharge it. I can just plug the camera into a recharger. That way I don't go somewhere with my camera and forget to take the battery with me. (Don't ask.)"

DIGITAL CAMERA with Li-ion Rechargable Battery? Please recommend a digital camera with at least the following features: + Image Stabilizer + Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery (lasts 2 hrs +) + 7.1MP or better + 0.3 shutter lag or better / 5 sec or better (5 photos) *with* Flash on. + Digital Viewfinder can be turned off and so Optical viewfinder required + Movie recording (24 fps) with zoom in/out while recording. Turning off the digital viewfinder is optional as long as the rechargeable battery lasts 2 hrs or more. I believe i did a test drive on a Sony CyberShot DSCH10B=&langid=EN&sku_id=0926INGFS10100730&catid=20220 i found it to be quite good except the pricing was too steep. I'm looking for a camera that is no more than $180 CDN. Thank you.

Stranger Danger replied: "Battery life in cameras is based on number of shots. If it's a point & shoot with you LCD on and using your flash every shot you'll be lucky to get ~300 shots before depleting the battery. 7 mega pixels is plenty, you really don't need more than that. Any higher than 8 and you start to see image noise because all those pixels simply cannot fit onto the tiny sensor that is in all point & shoot cameras. A flash for point & shoots that recycles in 1 second doesn't exist. You're looking around 3-5 seconds. I know most Nikon's allow you to zoom in and out while recording video. Not sure about other brands. The cheapest one I could find with everything you want is $250 USD."
