SLR Camera Batteries

Picking a SLR battery for your camera is not something you have many options for. Each camera does not fit every SLR battery. More specifically, each SLR camera generally has a few batteries that fit it. Some cameras let you use rechargeable batteries, and some others allow you to use AA batteries. No matter what, it is always best to have a spare battery, as the worst feeling is when you are in the middle of taking amazing photos, and your battery dies. Many of us have been there, and at that moment you wish you had a spare. Here are some of the best SLR camera batteries that you should definitely consider:

SLR digital cameras use a lot of power every time you take a picture, unlike film SLR cameras. Every time you take a picture with an SLR< the camera opens and closes the shutter, the sensor captures light and color, the image is saved, and then the image is shown on the LCD. These are just a few things that contribute to the large use of power. Nonetheless, technology is rapidly advancing, and SLR batteries are being made that last much longer than previous ones. For those who use their cameras moderately, you will not need to charge it more than once a week. Though, if you are a heavy, all out photographer, you will obviously need to recharge more often.

There are generally 3 battery types that are very common. The first is Lithium Ion, which are rechargeable and last for a long time. They are quite expensive to replace, but last for a long period of time. Secondly, there is Nickel Metal Hydride. This battery can be recharged over and over, so they are usually a replacement for AA batteries. Lastly, there is CR-V3, which is equivalent to 2AA’s, and can be bought in rechargeable and non-rechargeable versions.
