Digital Camera Battery - Bring a Battery Charger on Trips

SUMMARY: Even if you have lots of rechargeable AA batteries, you should still bring a charger with you on trips.

First off, if your battery takes AA batteries and you are not using rechargeable batteries, read why you should use rechargeable AA batteries.

Now, assuming you use rechargeables, and that you take several sets of charged batteries with you on a vacation or photo-shoot, realize that it just makes sense to also bring a battery charger or two with you. When you return to your hotel room, condo, etc. for the evening, after backing up your photos to your laptop or external digital media storage (hint, hint!), take your used-up batteries and give them a recharge. If you are new to digital photography, you might think three or four sets of batteries are enough for a multi-day trip, but you'll be surprised when you start using up a set or two of batteries each day!
