Digital Camera Battery

Use an Add-On NiMH Power Pack

SUMMARY: Get more use out of your old AA NiMH batteries.

If your digital camera only supports proprietary batteries, see if it also supports an add-on power pack that uses AA NiMH batteries.

If you have many extra AA NiMH batteries from previous digital cameras or other digital technology purchases, a battery pack may be a wise investment. Though a power pack may add a little weight to the camera and cost more than a couple of proprietary batteries, it may save money in the long run if you have plenty of NiMH's that would otherwise no longer be useful in your new digital camera.
