I'm withdrawing question - not sure of its' origin, since I have an extensive inventory of NiMH rechargeable batteries I use for all AA applications.

I used this camera on our vacation with a new set of lithium batteries and took 890 pictures on that set over a week--I haven't changed that set yet. Very few were taken with flash, but I did zoom in and out quite a bit, and changed the scene to macro, etc. I have been very happy with the battery life--even the AAs that came with the camera lasted for a couple hundred pictures for me. I tend to think that the short battery life others are seeing is due to a problem, since I am seeing so many pictures from one set of AAs.

With AA alkaline expect 25-35 pictures depending on how often you check the pictures you have taken, how often you use the flash and how often you zoom in and out. Terrible experience. I am now trying lithium AA batteries and hoping to get a lot more. It is a terrific camera if I can only get a lot more pictures from the batteries

It's got a switch to draw from one or the other. I've run it on NiMH only w/o AA and it works fine. I assume the reverse is true.

CAUTION: As others have noted, these AmazonBasics "White Label" batteries (ASIN: B00422KWU0) are standard Alkaline & can not be compared to "Black Label" AmazonBasics AAA NiMH rechargeables (ASIN: B007B9NXAC)All AmazonBasics batteries, IMHO, have very poor and confusing label identities. My own personal experience makes me suspect that, sooner or later, there will be a charger related incident and some happy product liability attorneys.

No problem. The prices on the rechargable batteries keep going up. I stockpile them because I find I always use more. Never had to throw out a single one yet. They're worth the money, evey cent!

It depends entirely on the type of battery. This holder allows AA batteries to be used in place of the rechargeable Li-ion battery. If you use NiMH rechargeables you will get a similar number of photos. The real advantage is that you can use alkaline AA's which are widely available -- even in remote locations.

To clarify, there are three different versions of AmazonBasic rechargeable NiMH batteries: - The original AmazonBasics batteries came in black wrappers. They are made in China and have the capacity rating of 2000mAh. They are NOT as good as Sanyo eneloop batteries. AmazonBasics AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries - The second version of AmazonBasics batteries came in white wrappers. They are made in Japan and also have the capacity rating of 2000mAh. They are (according to me) rebranded 2nd-gen Sanyo eneloop, so you can expect at least 1500 cycles lifespan. AmazonBasics Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries - The third version is also black but called 'high-capacity'. They are (according to me) rebranded Sanyo XX. They are rated 2400mAh, but actual capacity is around 2550mAh, just like Sanyo XX. The rated lifespan of the XX is only 500 cycles. AmazonBasics High-Capacity Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries

Perhaps you should ask someone to list what items use AA batteries, or AAA batteries.... In other words, These are batteries, listing every possible use for them would be impossible. I suggest you start with the application and select the appropriate battery, not the reverse.

The problem with the high energy, all the NiMh cells is that the voltage is significantly lower than 'normal' / carbon cell batteries. Approx 1.2V Versus 1.5V. With a filament bulb it matters a little but an LED has a specific min voltage to fire. So the cell can be loaded with juice (so to speak) but be too low to fire the diode. it affects some electronics in the same way. My digital pocket recorder has the problem although the Tenergy cells seem to keep up their voltage, ie work longer with my recorder (than other of the Hi Output NiMh cells).

It's another way of referring to button Batteries, which are shaped like coins. Stuff like thin remotes/small toys, etc.

Designations of batteries are standard. there is LR44, and alkaline LR44 (don't use alkaline on things you care about). both of those leak gases and don't last long. Then there is SR44, which is a replacement for LR44, but using silver dioxide. later SR44 was split in SR44W (which is the old LR44 equivalent) and SR44SW, which is a low discharge variant. The SR44SW will be better for keeping memory of devices and watches. SR44W will be better for flashlights, etc. basically, any place you need more than one of those, you can't use SR44SW. 303 is the designation for SR44SW and 357 is the designation for SR44W/LR44. So this is a SR44W (aka 357), which can be used when SR44SW (aka 303) could also be used. but if your device requires 303 you are just wasting money buying 357.

In the past Individual batteries have a separate small sticker. Indicating month and year. Ni cad batteries cycled hard from full charge to no charge last longer and don't build up a loss of storage capacity as quickly.

Hi W.J. Two thoughts here. First, I'm not happy with the performance of the battery's life -- seem to work OK for low power items (i.e. wireless mouse), but fall way short of the mark for higher demand items (flashlight) -- I'd guess 10 to 15% of an Alkaline battery life. That said, and in all fairness, it appears there were a number of 'knock-offs' introduced into the selling stream. I'm not sure if mine were part of the counterfit lot. The customer service group at Eneloop aren't the easiest to work with either. I invested about $350 in batteries, cases, charger, sleeves. I wish I could get my money back and move on. Sorry to share my disappointing experience. I hope yours is better.

Don't know what the "A" means but I now use the German batteries also sold on Amazon. I've been very satisfied with them and the price is right. the Rayovac batteries are okay also but the German batteries seem to be better for the price.

language slip. where they wrote "circle" they mean "cycle," as in 50 cycles/sec or 60 Hz."conversion" i'm not sure. my guess is it means "charging.""the board" no clue, my guess is the battery (the item being sold and discussed here)a little native-english speaker editing would help. :)

I have not tried using rechargeable batteries for this but some user manuals will tell you not to use them even though i'll use them anyhow and they work fine. Alkaline batteries are generally at or around 1.2v at 50% while rechargeable NiMH's hold steady at 1.2 volts. It might also be that this manual was meant for the NiMH batteries that you have to recharge no matter what every couple of months or so due to the heavy drain those batteries get. LSD batteries like the Eneloops might work fine, but whether this device will handle the 1.2 volts/rechargeable batteries is really up to whether you give it a shot and see for yourself.

I believe this battery is made in the US but not all are, see the artical below from Wikipedia. Duracell manufactures alkaline batteries in many common sizes, such as AAA, AA, C, D, and 9V, but capacity of Duracell batteries can't be found on the official Duracell site (www.duracell.com). Lesser used sizes such as AAAA (primarily for pagers, penlights, and blood glucose meters) and J size batteries (for hospital devices and photographic strobe flash units) are also manufactured along with a range of "button" batteries using zinc-air, silver-oxide and lithium chemistries, used in calculators, watches, hearing aids, and other small (mostly medical related) devices. Duracell entered into a brand licensing agreement with flash memory manufacturer Dane-Elec in 2008 for a line of products including memory cards, hard drives and USB flash drives with the Duracell brand mark and in the brand's trademark "copper top" coloring.[2] Duracell also manufactures specialty batteries, including NiMH rechargeable batteries and batteries for cameras, watches, hearing aids, etc. Their two main battery brands are "CopperTop (Plus)," marketed as longer-lasting, and "Ultra," directed mainly at users of digital devices and devices that need more power. Duracell also has a line of lithium chemistry batteries and products, now manufactured outside of the U.S.

I sent this off as a gift to Ethiopia so really can't answer your question but also read in the evaluation that the tuning was rather sensitive/touchy as well. Was mostly interested in the wind-up recharge facility because of the lack of access to batteries or power were it was being sent. Gratefully, by chance, the rechargeable battery is not type that is banned by the US postal service.
