Which will last longer? Rechargable AA batteries or a CRV3? My camera is a Nikon Coolpix 3200 which ate the included AA batteries in 3 days. Thanks. -- ---->Sagittaria<---- 5/2/04 You'll take an inch but you'd love a mile. >> Stay informed about: Battery advice

Rechargable nickel-metal hydride batteries (NiMh) could easily last you a year or more.. You throw non rechargable CRV3's out when they're done. Rechargable NiMh AA's are the absolute, hands down best choice. Don't even consider anything else.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Battery advice

On the other hand, the NIMH can be recharged 500-1000 times, and after a few charges it will last longer than it does initially. Give them 3 or 4 recharge cycles before giving up on them.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Battery advice

Of course you could get rechargeable CR-V3s, which, in my Oly camera, give me better performance than NiMh's, though the NiMh's are cheaper up front and do work well. Forget Alkalines. The rechargeable ones are very good for flashlights. Sagittaria wrote: > Which will last longer? Rechargable AA batteries or a CRV3?

One AA NiMH cell does 1.22200=2700mWh. So, for three AA cells, about the same, less than four. All will depend on loads.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Battery advice*

If you mean shelf life "last longer" typically lithium can sit for 10 years and still be mostly charged.

My camera > is a Nikon Coolpix 3200 which ate the included AA batteries in 3 days. > Thanks. > I've been using 4 x 2300 mAh rechargeable NiMH in my Sigma SD-10, which otherwise needs 2 x CRv3. There is no contest; the CRV3 combo lasts about twice the amount of shots, then dies instantly. The NiMH fade, but can be persuaded to come back for a few shots by resting (not always the case with all cameras - the Sigma is technically a 5v camera, and well suited to the 4 x 1.2v produced by NiMHs, though able to take the 6v provided by the CRv3s). The big thing is the cost. Two of the disposal lithium batteries cost $35 in the UK (£9 each), while the same money will buy a complete set of 4 AA NiMHs and a charger, which will do several hundred 'runs' before getting old. Two sets of NiMHs will match one loading of CRV3s in capacity. I like my digital photography to be low-cost in consumables. So no more CRV3s.
