Which rechargeable batteries are better for the camera?

In the yard already 2017, but the profession of the photographer and to this day is very relevant and profitable. But what should any photographer be able to do? Just take pictures? By no means. One must understand and love technology, knowing a special approach to it. Each photographer had to deal with a choice of rechargeable batteries for photo and video cameras. And if such a person is a novice photographer, he should have been visited by an important question: what are the rechargeable batteries better for the camera? It will be sad if an important photo session unexpectedly breaks due to poor quality batteries. This can alienate customers and "wet" the reputation of a specialist. So which batteries are better for the camera? This article will help you understand this.

Battery types

The choice of batteries is quite diverse, there are batteries types NiMh, Li and Zn, but since we choose only the best, we will only talk about the first.

Batteries like NiMh

To begin with, you need to know that this kind of energy sources can also be classified:

• Conventional NiMh. Such batteries consume a charge even when the device in which they are located is at rest. Only the first day consumes 23-24% of the charge, and in each subsequent day - 1%.
• LD-NiMh - batteries of "low self-discharge".They can safely lie around for a year, while retaining 85% of the charge.

Do you fit batteries like LD?

The most affordable and environmentally friendly LD batteries are the familiar NiMh. Just remember to put them on a charge. But the use of LD-NiMh can entail a couple of questions.

The bottom line is that conventional batteries have a large capacity of approximately 2700 mAh, the LD-NiMh batteries have a capacity of 2100 mAh. It seems obvious to you that using batteries with less capacity is not beneficial, but practice shows the opposite.

It's better to get a lot of charged sets, using such batteries. If the memory allows you to remember about the timely charging, then you should buy it LD-NiMh.

Eneloop XX

This product occupies a niche market since 2005 and is considered legendary. Which rechargeable batteries are better for the camera? We understand further.

Batteries from Sanyo AA can safely keep their charge for up to 5 years. The operation of such batteries implies 1800 cycles of full discharge and charging.

To date, it is these batteries are considered the best.

Important! The problem is that they are not so easy to find. But other companies are actively engaged in improving the batteries LD-LiMh.

Batteries from Panasonic

There is another good option that is easy to find on the market. These are Panasonic batteries. They are famous for 1600 cycles of charge and discharge. It's not a secret that Panasonic bought Sanyo, so soon the consumer will no longer feel the difference between them.

Special attention should be paid to alkaline batteries.

Alkaline batteries or Alcaine

This is one of the most used types of batteries in everyday life. You can find them in absolutely any store, which makes them very popular. With what is it all the same connected? Yes, the fact that they do not need to be charged. But this "one-off" causes a number of shortcomings.

The rather weak current will not allow using them for modern cameras, so they become relevant only for clocks, control panels, alarm clocks and similar devices.

Important! To eliminate all the questions about this type of batteries, it is worth noting that Alcaine is translated as "alkaline."Yes, and now it is not difficult to conclude that alkaline batteries, in the near future, will cease to be used in cameras in general. Do we need such batteries? No and no again.

Still not clear about the choice? Read on!

Which AA batteries are better for long-term use?

You can answer this question yourself if you become acquainted with the selection criteria. So, how to choose the best batteries for your camera?

High current output

Accumulators that have a high current output can give up all their capacity to the camera power supply, without reaching the lower voltage values. Each digital camera is equipped with a power controller that regulates the voltage on the batteries. It is he who signals that the battery is dead.

The controller independently determines the current level of the battery discharge by the potential difference on the element itself.

Important! In simple language, it measures the voltage and, if it suddenly reaches the lower limit of the voltage( the nominal voltage), it immediately signals that the battery needs to be replaced.

High current efficiency helps the battery to give up absolutely all its capacity to the power of the device, while not reaching the lower voltage values. For example, if the battery has a capacity of 2500 mAh - all these 2500mAh will go to the power supply of the device.

Low current efficiency

Low current efficiency entails a situation in which the camera can not "get" the rest of the energy from the battery and is forced to report that an urgent replacement is needed.

Important! Do not believe me? Take out the battery with low current output, when the camera "shows" discharge and insert it into the flashlight, and you will see that there is enough charge in it.

Capacity

And only the second criterion of choice is capacity. Large capacity in combination with high current yield will give the largest number of shots for the battery charge.

Self-discharge

Well, the last criterion is self-discharge, which we talked about a little in the beginning. Batteries that quickly "self-discharged" will have to be recharged regularly, which is not very convenient and time-consuming, and time and comfort are now highly valued

pin The best sources of power for your device are batteries like LD-NiMh. But among them you need to make a choice according to the criteria described above. In any case, you can now easily select the battery yourself.

The information you read should help you with the choice and caution against buying a substandard product. Now you know how to help your friend, the photographer, who asked himself which batteries are best for the camera? Have a good shot!
