Tips To Help You Select The Right Camera Replacement Batteries

By Charlotte Kaycee


If your camera's battery has died, you might be having a little trouble finding the right replacement for it. This is because the types of batteries used in cameras vary greatly and many stores do not carry a full selection of batteries. If you are searching for camera replacement batteries and need some help, this article has the information you need.

Some cameras actually use standard batteries, like AA batteries and AAA batteries. If your camera uses these types of batteries, you will instantly be able to tell by opening up the battery compartment and checking inside. You can easily find these batteries in grocery stores, drug stores, and electronics stores.

Quite a lot of cameras now use rechargeable batteries that rely on lithium cells. There are many types of lithium based batteries and they also provide varying levels of voltages. They are even sold under different brand names.

To figure out which rechargeable battery you need, start by looking at the dead battery. Take a note of its name and the amount of voltage it provides. If you don't have the old battery, look through your camera's manuals or contact the camera's manufacturer.

Some rechargeable batteries are available in battery stores and electronics stores, but their selection is usually limited. For the largest selection, look at online stores. When purchasing a battery, make sure that it's exactly what you need before you spend any money.

If you're looking to save cash on camera replacement batteries, try a generic, or unbranded, battery. These will cost less simply because they don't have a brand name. However, some camera manufacturers will void your warranty if you use a generic battery, so be sure to read your warranty before you purchase a generic item.
