i bought a nikon L6 camera which can use the lithium rechargable battery and the Ni-mh battery. My question is, can I also use the Ni-Cd batteries with it? Won't I be having any problems with it? And in the end, ruin my camera?

yes there is a setting and i looked into the manual of my camera and it said that it can use alkaline, the nikon ni-mh batteries, zr6 batteries and lithium batteries?

Yes there are differences between the battery types. I know that it is how the battery charges, stores, and holds the power used in the cell. (Battery Cell) The older batteries are the Ni-Cd (Nickle Cadmium (SP?)), then you go to the Ni-mh (Nickle-Metal Hydrate). The newer batteries used in camera are the Lithium-Ion battery. They hold a charge much longer and can hold more power. The main thing that I know of when looking at what type of battery my camera will use, is the amperage and voltage the camera will be able to take.

If the voltage is nice, the battery would be ok. The replace to Ni-MH for replace batteries is in basic terms to grant longer communicate time and to do away with the memory result linked with Ni-CD batteries. The memory result's sort of an prolonged tale, whether it reasons older Ni-CD batteries to not carry a cost as long as whilst new. I won't clarify it right here, because of the fact i don't understand how actual that's. .

The other answers are correct, The one thing I haven't seen from them is that ni-cad batteries can develope a memory. They need to be completely depleted before being recharged or their capacity will drop drastically.
I used to recharge my old VCR ni-cads after each 10-15 minute use. After a while, they learned to only last 15 minutes. At $50 each I learned the hard way...
Newer batteries don't have a memory problem.

Ni-Cd battery is outdated technology. You can use it but your digital camera will go dead quickly because Ni-Cd does not have high capacity as Ni-Mh or lithium to keep your camera going and going.

Ni-Mh will last longer, lithium even longer. That has all been said already.
Another reason which speaks against the Ni-Cd technology is, that cadmium (Cd) is highly poisonous. So for the environment it's better not to use it any longer.

You can also use the Ni-Cd batteries but they won't last nearly as long as the lithium ion batteries.

Yes you can, but look at the voltage to make sure it is the same voltage as the other batteries. I saw some batteries have very high voltage even the are the same size (AA) as the others.

Its just what the buttery is made from. Just check the voltage your camera needs and check that against any type of battery.

is there a setting on / in your camera that can choose different battery types?
