Any battery geeks here? an everyday topic this one. Who knows about batteries? Why do none of the sony or panasonic batteries I got cheap at poundland or some other equally as cheap place, work in my digital camera? Duracells do and a few others I nicked out of the tv remotes do but these cheap ones won't even work for a second. When i turn my camera on the red light flashes and then stops indicating empty battery. I didn't expect this horde of useless batteries i now have to work for hours, but i at least expected them to gimme the power to take a picture or two.. Is this a common problem or could my camera be a bit wanked? its new..
goto asda and buy their rechargable batteries with charger. its their own cheapy one - < £10 and the batteries are v v v v good
I figured out what the solution to the problem would be but I just think its strange that new batteries from the likes of panasonic and sony wont even power the camera on.. my aunties old one was a battery munching piece of shit and that even worked with them for about 20mins or so..
I was gonna get some rechargeable 2300 ni-mh ones or something but I just haven't yet.. the thing I was wondering is whether or not its normal for some batteries not even powering on the camera.. it doesnt eat batteries all that quick and I just think its a bit odd..
I dunno who to be mad at.. Kodak for making a fussy camera or sont and panasonic for filling their batteries full of shite.. bring on the rechargeables then!
Rechargable batteries def! My camera batterys run out after like 10 mins even with the rechargable ones! It will cost you a fortune if you keep buying new ones!
with the kodak batteries it came supplied with I was using the camera for a whole clubbing sesh, taking videos and pics and it didnt start running out till the next day. Thats why it seems odd that cheaper yet unused batteries refuse to work..
