Most digital devices work todayon the energy of the batteries. This is what makes them mobile and convenient. Photo and video equipment is no exception. Disposable batteries (primary chemical sources), in spite of availability and cheapness, are inferior to the use of batteries (secondary chemical sources), which withstand many cycles of recharging. To properly choose the power source for your equipment, you need to know a few basic points about them.
Types of batteries
1. Special batteries
2. Finger batteries (AA, AAA)
Capacity - the value that determines the timeservice source - the charge that this source can give. On this depends on the time of the photo and video cameras. The most used in photographic equipment elements have a capacity of 1500-3200 mAh.
The output voltage ensures the inclusion of your device, and if its value is small, then this battery does not suit you, you need to choose a more powerful one. Otherwise, the camera or camera will not turn on.
Determine the quality of the battery in the market or instore can only be using a tester, marking on the product does not always correspond to reality. So it's not worth saving, it's better to choose AA batteries for cameras from already well-known manufacturers.
3. Chemical composition
The most popular today, despite itscost, lithium batteries: Li-Ion and Li-Pol. They have no memory effect, they have a relatively small weight. The most important thing is the high production rate - more than 1000 discharge / charge cycles. But one should not allow their complete discharge (as in alkaline).
If the shape of the battery compartment allows and does notcontraindications in the instructions, alkaline batteries (AA, AAA) can be replaced with suitable lithium batteries. The choice of a particular device depends on your preferences and the conditions in which the equipment will be used, and, of course, on your budget.
