How To Choose Camera Replacement Batteries

By Charlotte Kaycee


If the battery in your camera has died, you may be having some trouble finding a suitable replacement. This is because different cameras require different kinds of batteries and some are not as easy to find as others. If you need help finding the right camera replacement batteries for your camera, this article can help.

If your camera uses regular batteries, such as AAA batteries or AA batteries, you're in luck. Most stores carry these and they do not cost much at all. To find out if your camera uses these, just open up the battery compartment and take a look inside. If you see springs and space for cylindrical or a large rectangular battery, you'll need standard batteries.

Many digital cameras use rechargeable lithium cell batteries. These batteries come in different sizes and with different voltage ratings. They are also available in both branded and generic versions.

To find out which type of rechargeable battery is right for your camera, you should look at the old battery and locate the model number. Also pay attention to the voltage rating, since you'll need to purchase a battery with the exact same amount of voltage. If you cannot find the old battery, look at your product manuals or contact the manufacturer of the camera.

Some battery retailers and electronics retailers may carry the batteries that you need. However, if you want to find the battery you need in an instant, go online. This is where the largest selection of batteries exists. Just make sure the battery you choose has the right amount of voltage.

If you need to save some money on your camera replacement batteries, you can try buying unbranded, or generic, batteries. These will cost less, but you need to ensure that their fully compatible with your camera prior to making the purchase. Additionally, check your camera's warranty to find out if using an unbranded battery has the potential to void the warranty.
