What batteries will suit my.....?

... Digital Camera?? My boyfriend lost my rechargeable batteries in Anfield (so they're well and truly gone). I bought them as an extra with the camera, they were pretty dear as they came part of a set and its 鈧?5. I bought Energizer rechargeable batteries supposedly especially for digital cameras and they wont work. Im fed up using normal batteries as they waste too quickly. and for decent ones cost a bomb.
also my boss told me not to use rechareable batteries in a digital camera because its bad for the camera ??

can someone set the record straight and tell me what batteries to use if any ??

It's a waste of time using anything but NickelMetal Hydride rechargeables. A set of 4 2500mAh should only cost about 拢20 including a charger. Whoever told you they will damage a digital camera is bonkers! Buy any digicam which uses its own battery and they are ALWAYS rechargeable. Using alkaline batteries is a huge waste of money, you'll get very few shots from them, whilst rechargeables give hundreds of shots. Go to any proper camera shop and they will advise you.

It depends on the camera and whether it's designed to use rechargeable batteries. Normal rechargeables are a slightly lower voltage than alkaline batteries so they don't always work and they can damage the camera.

I can only assume that you are using the AA type rechargeable batteries, which should be of around 1800 to 2200 mAh and of Ni-MH model, if you have bought Ni-cd models then they wont charge with your charger, The best thing is to go to a shop with your camera and ask which type is best, or tell us the make and model .

I use re-chargers in my digi camera and they work fine...
just look for the highest mAh** you can get.. most rechargables only have 700mAh** so i brought a set from ebay, 2500mAh**
**mAh=Miniamps- power longetivity/the higher the number the better, it says on side of the battery x

you can only buy normal batteries if u don't want to still ur money too much, buy a new camera, before u buy u should ask some informations about it
