Get Bargains On Batteries Here

Regular batteries should work in a digital camera right?

Jeff M asked:


My mom’s girlfriend gave us her old digital camera it’s like 2 years nothing wrong with it, but it didn’t turn on. I went and bought new batteries but it still wasn’t working. The old batteries inside of it said digital camera batteries. This might sound stupid, but there is no difference between the 2 right?

    yes you can use both types except one “supposedly” lasts longer.

    i think digital batteries have more battery power. And yeah normal ones would work but it won’t last as long.

    digital camera batteries usually have greater power and thus last longer, but if they are AA batteries, regular AA alkaline batteries such as a duracel or energizer batter should work just fine. It may not last very long, but it would work.

    Use a cotton but and some spirits/lighter fluid to clean the metal contacts. The old batteries might have leaked.

    Look for the amp rating on the battery, the higher the number the longer they last , digital cameras are greedy on power so look for 2300m/a , alkaline or NI MH , these should allow you to take at least 50 or 60 photos !
