Camera Battery Information

Camera batteries come in a variety of shapes, sizes and types (chemistry). Due to the voltages required by the cameras flash it is often the case that high voltage batteries are used instead of the common 1.5V batteries. Lithium batteries are the favoured choice in cameras given their high voltage - normally 3V and their light weight. Cameras also use standard AA Alkaline, AAA Alkaline. Flashguns can use PP3 / 9V cells, occasionally cameras have there own battery pack although this is more common in cameras designed for the enthusiast / professional.

Hints & Tips:

If you are not planning to use you camera for some time, take its batteries out.
If your camera has a seperate flash gun make sure this is switched off when not in use as it will use the batteries even if no pictures are being taken.
Some cameras have a seperate button cell or coin battery to keep the digital clock working.
More and more cameras are becoming digital, these require far more power than their analogue predecessors and you should be looking to use rechargeable batteries

Also known as:

Camera cells, photo cells, Lithium camera batteries, Alkaline camera batteries.
