Battery Tips & Info:
What steps should I take to make sure to get the full capacity out of my Ni-Mh batteries?
To help your new NiMH batteries reach their full capacity and performance, fully charge and then fully discharge it at least once every two to three weeks. Do not leave the battery dormant for long periods of time. If a battery has not been used for a long period of time, perform the new battery ˇ°break inˇ± procedure as described above. Also, consider investing in two sets of rechargeable batteries so you'll always have spares. ...
What is the difference in performance between rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries?d
Rechargeable batteries perform a little differently than non-rechargeable batteries. The voltage coming from an Alkaline (non-rechargeable) battery decreases steadily as the battery is discharged. Ni-MH and Li-Ion batteries have a lower starting voltage than Alkaline (typically 1.2-1.3V vs. 1.5V for Alkaline), but rechargeables maintain this level until they are almost discharged. One potential problem: the battery life indicator of the camera may be calibrated for alkaline batteries, which coul ...
