recharagable batteries, get the charger and batteries, cost anything from 拢7-拢15 for 4 batteries and charger. BUT upgrade the batteries to 2500 mah ( the higher the mah, the longer the charge ), therefore more live.

Lithium Ion re-chargeable.

Defiantly worth buying rechargeable batteries and a charger . We had the same problem as you when we bought our digital camera . Now I carry lots of spares round with me and recharge when I get home . Saves a fortune as well. You will have an initial lay out for the charger and batteries . Mine only cost about 拢16 from jessops.

Duracel rechargeable - you can but the charger & batteries together in Asda for about 拢12

you should buy the re-chargabe ones

recargeballs whe had our for 2 years and we have never had a prob

Duracell.

Nickel metal hydride rechargeables now come in high charge capacity. Look for 2600 mAH capacity. They need a special "smart" charger because they are not tolerant of overcharging. The latest technology is Li-ion (Lithium ion), also rechargeable. Both these battery technologies provide at least 5 times more charge than earlier NiCads and are available from Boots, Argos, Jessops or ebay, complete with suitable charger.

perhaps they where worn out before you used them...
rechargeable batteries are the best....
look for a rating of 500mah' upwards otherwise they will run out Quick.. try Energisers which are great with my camera....

i had the same problem with my samsung and it also got hot.so i took it back and changed it for a rechargeable cannon no problem, takes loads of photos.handy to buy a spare battery though.
