Batteries
Find an array of battery options for any camera need.
*Images may or may not represent current packaging or brand. We always use the best and most reliable batteries made for high-power camera use from name brands such as Kodak, Panasonic, Maxell, and GP. Please see Additional Info below for more information about batteries.
Additional Info
We offer only the best and recommended batteries for cameras. Between all the different names and chemistries out there, here’s what you need to know:
The names are a bit confusing. In some cases, they matter. In most cases, they do not. And in all cases, we offer whichever version (if applicable) is specifically rated for camera/photo use. For example, our SR44W (the W variant) is for high discharge devices and are mercury-free, and our AAs, AAAs, and 4LR44s are Kodak’s Super Alkalines. You can use other variants, but your experience won’t be as great and mileage may vary greatly.
We list multiple common naming schemes for the same batteries as a convenience, but if you need something specific, go by the first listed name.
Yes, you can get an adapter to fit 4 SR44s in the space a single 4LR44 would take. But why not just get a 4LR44? Best practices, friends.
When in doubt, ask us. But as long as you’re matching up the numbers, you’re probably fine with anything we offer.
Note on Rechargeable Batteries
We offer some rechargeable batteries. In some cases, such as with the CR123A rechargeable batteries, the voltage for the rechargeable is 3.7V while the original voltage of the alkaline or lithium non-rechargeable CR123As is only 3V. We offer both because it’s much more environmentally friendly to use rechargeable batteries when possible, not to mention cost-saving. However, while we have used the 3.7V batteries in more modern cameras (i.e. Nikon F6, etc.) without issue, these are still use at your own risk. CR123A rechargeable batteries also have much less stored power and will die faster than the original non-rechargeable kind. This is because there are electronics and controllers taking up space inside the battery to manage the rechargeable features. In most cases, this is hardly an issue since batteries still last many weeks or months as opposed to months or years. But it’s best to have plenty on hand just in case. Finally, for older cameras, they may cause light meters to become inaccurate. This can be compensated for as long as you know it is happening. So do some tests if you plan on switching to rechargeable CR123 batteries. If it works for you, we do highly recommend it.
