Batteries for digital cameras - can i switch back and forth?

If a digital camera comes with AA alkaline batteries, can I use them until they lose charge and then move on to rechargeable? Can I sometimes use rechargeable and sometimes use regular batteries?

Yes. In fact, if your rechargeables ever go dead, you can just pop into a drug store and get some disposable AA batteries.

It won't hurt the camera to switch between batteries like this, although you will notice shorter life with disposable AAs due to current drain.

What you don't want to do is mix rechargeables and disposables in the camera at the same time.

Nor should you use a mix of partially and fully charged batteries or rechargeable batteries of different capacities (i.e. 2500 mAh (milliamp hours) and 1600 mAh).

Hi ... I have a digital camera .. and I use any batteries for it ... there fine ...

The most important thing to do is use fresh batteries whether rechargeable, alkaline, or Li. Don't mix and match batteries and don't use batteries of questionable charge. I.e. don't use a battery that was in your TV remote and the one fresh out of the package.

Yes. Sometimes the cheap batteries don't work.
