Lithium-ion batteries - A popular, long-lasting, rechargeable battery technology often used in digital cameras; lithium is the lightest metal and features the highest electromechanical potential.
Lithium-Ion batteries allow greater recording time than NiMh batteries. Not only will Lithium-Ion batteries hold a longer charge, they also have a longer shelf life, generally 5-7 years.
Rechargeable Lithium-ion Batteries
Li-ion (Lithium-ion) rechargeable batteries are lighter, more compact, but more expensive than NiMH batteries.
Most digital cameras are powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
Do not confuse the Lithium batteries mentioned above with the rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries. Another choice would be to use rechargeable NiMhs or NiCds in high drain applications such as digicams.
Sure, they're boring hunks of gray plastic, but lithium-ion batteries (as well as AA cells) are probably the most critical part of your power-slurping digital camera. Without these batteries, the picture-taking fun comes to a screeching halt.
Typically mid-range consumer models and some low end cameras use off-the-shelf batteries; only a very few DSLR cameras accept them (for example, Sigma SD10). Rechargeable RCR-V3 lithium-ion batteries are also available as an alternative to ...
Do you want to make sure that the money you save on film and developing doesn't just end up getting spent on batteries? (Then you might want to get a camera with rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries or some such similar set-up) ...
