Aiptek DV5900 5MP Pocket Digital Camcorder forum: Do I have to buy a battery if so what kind?

You will need some regular AA batteries. It takes two. I really suggest you get four and make them rechargable because this camera will suck the charge out of them very fast. Get a 1 gig the cheaper the better.

This camera comes with a NP-45A or NP-45B Rechargeable Li-ion battery and it takes an SD card. See previous answer:)

You can purchase new batteries from Lawmate by going to their website and can also find authorized dealers there. I found spare batteries on Ebay. I rarely use the extra battery though. Also I recommend placing a small strip of black electric tape along to bottom of the device to cover the bright little LED lights that show when you are recording. They are just too bright.

I usually get several hundred pictures on a charge. I did buy an external charger and two spare batteries (from "Big Mike" on Amazon, very affordable), but rarely find that I need to swap batteries during a day of shooting.

I have actually never shot video but in my experience taking pictures it has a great battery. I've gone almost two weeks without charging.

Yes, it does come with a battery. However, the life in use is relatively short (250+/- shots). So, if you shoot a lot of pics or are going to do an assignment, you will probably want a 2nd battery. It does not come with a memory card, so you'll want a couple of those also.

Yes, you can use without the battery. With the battery the recording time is not long , less than two hours .This product is very good , I'm very happy , buy it for very little $ 140 d and quality sound recording and video is spectacular .

The camera comes complete with a rechargeable battery. I tested the battery's life on a 13-hour photo excursion (turned the unit off when I wasn't using it) and it performed well. You can purchase a rechargeable battery for this unit, they're easy to find...but you don't need to. It powers a memory of 101 photos and 26 minutes of video. If you buy a 4-gigabit chip you get 697-pic capability. During those 13 hours, I tried to shoot that many photos and didn't even come close.

I don't really think you need one. I have took around 60 films, and still shows full charged. The official data is we can take more than 100 photos with one fully charged battery.

No. It requires a special battery which it comes with. I also purchased 2 additional batteries through Amazon for just 20.00. Love this camera. It takes fantastic pictures and video - even underwater, but the battery life is short lived. Therefore, we carry the 2 extra batteries with us for easy replacement on the go.

It come with the camera, you have a choice to use power adapter or a 9V batter (not included); 9V clip is included.

The battery comes with the camera and Amazon will recommend a battery for it so you can get a second one. The battery life depends on how many pictures you take or if you use the video setting. It is always wise to have a second fully charged battery with you just in case yours dies when you least want it to happen. Let me also point out while you are asking about the battery that the memory card DOES NOT come with it so make sure you order one when you order the camera.

Yes it does come with a battery, though as with all consumer cameras the battery wont last long. I would suggest getting an extra battery, may I suggest a Vivitar SB-FV100 extended battery. You should be able to find one with 4200 mAh battery life, which should give you about a 6 hour life. Just be sure it fits your camera.

You can use the Nikon battery. In fact, that would probably be preferable as the batteries that came with it were junk.

I rarely record for longer than 15 minutes.....but I can fit well over an hour of HD footage no problem. I would buy a new battery when you buy the camera. I have had great success with the new battery and use the camera regularly without issues. The battery I bought was $3 and well worth it.

I havent even known that it requires an extra battery or I can add one.I use it quite a bit and it works fine...It is a very good camera for little movies of simple things like babies or a little recording you need to upload. Its Photos are useless and the videos are not high quality for making into high quality movies. SImple Youtube or Picasa uploads they are great... quick and fun.Hope that helps.

Bell and Howell would suggest their spare battery, which is actually not a bad price at $20.http://www.bhphotovideo.com/Bell & Howell - Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Pack for DNV16HDZ Camcorder (3.7V, 1700mAh)But unless you need it for a second camera or to replace a truly damaged battery, I would suggest a external charger instead. You can charge it up and connect it to the camera and it should allow the camera to act as if its plugged in directly.
