Digital Camera Battery - Batteries in Cold Weather

SUMMARY: Bring along extra batteries if you plan on taking photos in the cold winter months.

If you plan on taking digital photos in colder weather, such as right after a snowstorm, note that batteries may hold their power for shorter periods of time than in warmer weather. You may either want to bring extra batteries during your photo shoot or look for digital camera batteries specially rated to handle colder temperatures.
