Answer 1

If you choose to use the e2 lithium batteries, don't let the price scare you. They cost twice as much but last at least 4 times as long.

Answer 2

You should go for NiMH rechargeable batteries. Energizer have the highest rating model at 2500mAH. Durcell highest rating is 2650mAH. It surprised me when I first got my set of 4 Energizer 1.5 years ago and it still work great today. Don't get lithium, NiMH rechargeable last just as long and it'll save you a lot of money in the long run. By the way, get the 15mins charger too, it'll save you time and I see no different in performance and battery life using a super quick charger.

Answer 3

From technical and financial point of view:
- Long term use (3 years): 2500 mA Energizer rechargeable batteries NiMh type. Note that rechargeable Ni-Cd are less and less available on the market just because Cadmium is too toxic. All rechargeable batteries are rated at 1.2V !!! + you need a charger.

Short term use: lithium are good and rated at 1.5V but expensive.

Answer 4

Never use rechargeable NiCad batteries in your cameras. NiCad batteries build heat if they are discharged quickly & can cause serious problems. They are rated at 1.5 volts.

Lithium batteries do not build heat & are rated At 1.2 volts. If your camera came with Lithium batteries stay with the manufacturers recommendations. The problem with rechargeable batteries is that they discharge very quickly whereas non chargeable have a slower rate of discharge & provide a wider margin of warning before they go completely dead.
