[pct-l] digital camera batteries

[kdpo at gottawalk.com (Ken Powers)]

Hmmm, good advice to check that any battery operated device will accept
lithium batteries. I just read on the back of the package that Energizer
would repair or replace any device damaged by their batteries. Maybe I
shouldn't worry.

My Energizer lithium batteries are the same size as normal AA batteries. I
have seen the "tandem" batteries though. Glad they lasted that long too.

Two AA Lithium batteries lasted me the entire summer on the PCT. I have a
3.2 megapixel Olympus. I bought my camera specifically for the PCT so my
stipulations were lightweight, at least 3 megs, and a  lithium battery.  I
didn't want to deal with recharging batteries and regular batteries don't
last very long.  It worked well for me anyway.

You need to make sure that your camera takes lithium batteries. Just because
your camera takes AA batteries doesn't mean you can use the AA lithium
batteries. The reason is that the lithium AAs are like two regular AA
batteries stuck together so they may not fit a camera that was not designed
for them.
