Digital Camera Batteries
Digital Camera Batteries
By Idan Lavi
When it comes to camera batteries, I feel jinxed. I have a really nice digital camera, and I have to have special batteries for it. They don t recommend AA for it, and even if they did, that would never work. AA batteries always seem to die in about an hour in a digital camera anyway, so that would be a huge waste of money. My camera recommended two different types of batteries so I went with the first one that I could find. It was a good brand, and it seemed to be a common battery. I saw that this type was made by a variety of companies, so I thought they wouldn t be that hard to find in the future.
My wife actually found the camera batteries that I needed. She found a rechargeable version that came with an adaptor so I could charge the battery in my car. The price was really good too, and I took it home and charged it over night. The camera batteries worked great, and they charged in about two hours after the initial charge, and they lasted a lot longer than the AA ever would.
When it came time to go on vacation this year, I thought it might be a good idea to get some extra rechargeable camera batteries so I wasn t left without a camera while waiting for a charge. I went back to the store where I bought the rechargeable and found that they didn t have any more. I didn t get worried until I went into five different stores looking for my specific camera batteries and came home empty handed.
As it turned out, they had discontinued the camera batteries that I need. You can buy them in the disposable variety, but I wasn t going to find another of this type that I can recharge. This means that I either spend a lot of money buying disposable camera batteries or I switch to the other type my camera will take. I have to invest in a new charger all over again in order to have a spare rechargeable. Too top it all off, my daughter has hidden the charger I have for my current battery, so I can t even use that now. Wouldn t you know I ve seen a rainbow, my daughter colored herself with marker, and we had Thanksgiving dinner with family all within the last twenty-four hours. So much for saving the memories.
