The Battery Dilemma

Does it feel like you’ve replaced the batteries on your digital camera, portable audio player, or cd player way too many times? Ever replace the batteries on one of your remote controls wondering if there’s a better way? Hate making trips to the store just to buy a fresh pack of alkaline batteries? We’ve all been there, and although we don’t enjoy the never-ending cycle of replacing batteries, we must continue the cycle to enjoy our electronics. However, most people don’t know that rechargeable batteries have come a long way since their introduction and can change the way you power your products. Did you know that current generation NiMH batteries can typically last 3 to 4 times longer when used in a typical digital camera than regular AA or AAA alkaline batteries on a single charge? In addition to longer battery life, rechargeable NiMH batteries can be recharged hundreds of times with no noticeable capacity degradation. That means you can use the same set of rechargeable batteries in your digital camera for much longer than you ever thought possible.
