How to Select Your Camera Batteries & Chargers

Introduction

Choosing the correct camera battery and charger can be overwhelming. There are a lot of options out there, and they all work differently. In this post, I'll walk you through the basics of how to buy batteries for your camera and which brands are best suited for which cameras.

Different types of camera batteries.

Lithium ion batteries: These batteries are rechargeable and have a higher capacity than alkaline batteries. They also have a longer life, but they're more expensive and can't be used in all cameras.

Lithium polymer batteries: A newer type of battery that's similar to lithium ion, but lighter and thinner. They don't tend to last as long as lithium ion ones though (about 500 full charges).

Alkaline: The most common type of disposable camera battery (you can also use them for your remote control). They're cheap but don't last very long or hold much power compared to other types of disposable batteries; they should only really be used if you need something quick-and-dirty that doesn't require much energy--like when taking photos at parties or events where there isn't time for charging between shots!

Nickel metal hydride (NiMH): These rechargeable batteries are slightly more expensive than NiCads, but they'll give you better results overall because they hold their charge longer than NiCad equivalents

How to know a battery is compatible with your camera.

Battery type: The first thing you need to do is make sure that your camera takes the same kind of battery as the one you're buying. There are three main types-- lithium ion, nickel metal hydride and alkaline--but some cameras use more than one type. You can find out by checking your owner's manual or searching for "battery compatibility" on Google Images (or Bing Image Search). If in doubt, ask an employee at your local camera store and they'll be able to tell you what kind of battery is right for them.

Voltage: Next up is voltage; this refers to how much energy each cell produces when fully charged (and thus how long it will last). Most modern digital cameras use either 3-volt or 4-volt batteries; however some older models may require 6 volts instead.

Make sure you get the right charger for your camera battery.

When you're buying a new charger and battery, it's important to make sure they are compatible. If your camera battery is rechargeable and comes with its own charger, make sure that the new charger will work with that type of battery. If you have lithium batteries (such as AA or AAA), make sure that they are compatible with any other accessories in your kit before making a purchase!

When to buy new vs. used batteries

If you are buying a battery for a camera that uses a proprietary battery, it is best to buy the new one. This is because these batteries are designed by the manufacturer specifically for your camera and can provide more power than other third-party options. As such, they are also more expensive than their generic counterparts.

If you want to save some money on your purchase, buying refurbished products may be an option worth considering.

When to rent camera batteries instead of buying.

You're shooting a short-term project, and you don't want to invest in the cost of buying new batteries.

You need extra batteries for an upcoming special event, such as a wedding or photo shoot for your portfolio (this is especially true if you're going to be using the same camera).

You're on vacation and want to be sure that all of your equipment works perfectly without having to worry about shipping anything back home after your trip is over--or even worse, losing it altogether!

How does the Third-Party Check work?

Icon of the edit button

The "Third-Party Check" is an optional service offered by Wedio for a small additional fee. It allows buyers to have the equipment they are interested in purchasing sent through a Wedio-certified service center to be checked and verified before committing to the purchase.

Here's how it works:

1. As a buyer, you choose to add the "Third-Party Check" service to your order before checkout.

2. The seller sends the gear to a Wedio-certified service center for inspection.

3. The service center performs a detailed check of the equipment and provides a status report to you.

4. Based on the report, you can decide whether or not to proceed with the purchase.

This service helps you avoid purchasing low-quality or defective equipment and gives you peace of mind knowing that the gear has been verified by a professional service center.
