All digital cameras can be classified into two types according to the kind of battery they use. The first type: cameras with an individual rechargeable battery suitable only for a specific model or a specific series. The second type: digital cameras powered by classic AA (finger) or AAA (little finger) batteries. Both types have their advantages: the first option is convenient for its low cost, since does not require the purchase of additional batteries. The advantages of the second type are that the batteries are interchangeable, and you can use several sets of batteries while traveling.

Step 1
If your camera is powered by an individual rechargeable battery, the only way to replace it is to purchase an identical or similar battery. This can be done in a store that sells the relevant product, or by ordering the model you need on the Internet. Considering the fact that such a battery usually lasts three to four years. Therefore, it is better to take care of purchasing an additional battery in advance.
Step 2
When it comes to AA or AAA batteries, things are a little simpler. The first thing you need to do is decide on the capacity of the future battery. You need to proceed from the following principle: the larger the battery capacity, the longer the camera can work without recharging. But such a battery will also take a little longer to charge. Be sure to read the instruction manual for your digital camera. Some models of cameras will not work correctly with batteries that are too small or too large.
Step 3
AAA and AA batteries are divided into two types: lithium-ion (LiON) or alkaline. The first type is cheaper and more affordable. The advantages of the second type are that their capacity, as a rule, is slightly higher than lithium-ion, and the total number of charging cycles is much higher.
