How hard is it, these days, to find new batteries for this camera?

They sell them everywhere. Walmart is where I go for the cheapest price. Takes 2 x 3v lithium CR123A or DL123A

Thanks for the rundown and for the tip. SterlingTek SterlingTek's POWWER brand Canon Powershot SD790 NB-5L battery 1400mAH would be the way to go, but I'm penny-pinching, and 14. + 8. (shipping) for the SterlingTek is 12. more than the Lenmar, so I think I'll have to spin the wheel and hope I receive a non-dud from them. SterlingTek make a sweet little car charger for that battery also (15. + 8.) that would be very handy, but now we're talking fantasy purchases. I shouldn't be shopping, I should be digging myself out of debt.

I too bought extra batteries and took them with me on several trips. We did have ways to charge them, but I did notice that the batteries I bought from Ebay lasted longer than the battery that came with the camera. Enjoy yourself!!!

I use the camera from time to time and the battery charges in a couple of hours so I think you need to buy new ones only if you use the camera so frecuently that don´t give time enough to charge the battery.

It is possible to buy replacement (Panasonic branded) batteries for it, but the ecommerce site that sells them isn't Amazon, so I feel sort of weird pasting the URL here. If you take the battery out and Google image search for "Panasonic 700mah", you'll see the replacement battery and a site in the UK that sells it. Also, disassembling the thing to get to the battery is a pain. I found a disassembly instruction diagram on yet *another* site that sold no-name replacement batteries for it. That said, Amazon is currently showing a $20 price tag for this item. So, all said and done, it'd be nearly as cheap to just replace the whole thing and save yourself the hassle. FWIW, that's exactly what I'm doing. Factoring in shipping, getting a whole new unit is exactly the same price as having a replacement battery shipped in from the UK.

I have found if you put the model of the camera into any search engine along with what part you need i.e. battery, you will be able to find the exact part needed. It worked for me many times over,good luck!

I have had my camera since 2008. I bought a new battery last year because I thought my battery was bad, but it wasn't the battery, so now I have two and the original one is still good.

I used Radio Shack after using original batteries for five years. Other electronic stores can supply batteries if Radio Shack is not in your area.

We have had Canon PowerShot cameras at our Site for years. We use them in Security, Maintenance, Production and in the Warehouse. We always purchase an extra battery so that when one requires recharging another one is available. I am not sure what the life of a battery is, but we have never had to purchase replacements. Just recharge and ready to go. We have always replaced the camera before the battery requires replacing. Camera replacement happens sometimes if the camera walks or if we purchase a newer model. I don't believe that you have to worry about battery life. However if you have to replace a battery, the generic ones are very inexpensive.

No! I was disappointed that I had to buy xtra batteries for my new camera, when I had 4 from the older Panasonic

I have not had this problem. I left my batteries for my camera for many hours, even days, without any trouble. Recommend that you contact the manufacturer and I'm certain that they will send you new batteries.

John I have had my Kodak Camera since March of 2005 and wouldn't trade it for anything so I know how you feel. My original battery would not hold a charge either. I'm told that this will happen eventually with all batteries if kept long enough. I purchased from Amazon a new Kodak KLIC-5001 Lithium-Ion battery and have not had a single issue or regret. I suggest that if you love your current camera that much order yourself at least two while you can. Do it now before it's too late. Good luck and happy clicking.

Actually, I would be happy if I could find a spare battery for $50 or so. But $150?! When I can buy another unit for the same price? Weird. I'm not seeing a lot of support from B&D; for these units, which is a shame since they seem well-designed otherwise.

We haven't had a lot of luck, seemed to last 2 hours when having GPS on and taking pictures. We purchased a 2 pack of batteries on amazon though and just put them in the camera case, no issues now!
