• Q: Why are there different voltages between aa batteries alkaline, and lithium 1.5v 3.6v?
  Can I buy 3.6v lithium batteries, or 1.5v alkaline batteries for the same digital camera. Are they both OK to use in my camera?

  A:The battery chemistry determines the voltage. Alkaline is 1.5 per cell, lead acid is 2.0 volts per cell, lithium is 3.6 per cell. I wouldn't use lithium batteries unless the manual said it was ok. If the camera is designed for 1.5 volts per cell the 3.6 volts could well damage something.
• Q: Is there a big difference in camera performance between Lithium Ion batteries and AA alkaline?
  I found a camera that i really would like to buy however it is powered by two AA batteries. I found using a LIthium Ion battery to be very convenient and am a little doubtful about the performance and battery life of a camera powered my two AA's. Please help!

  A:You can actually get lithium AA batteries. The benefit of Lithium batteries is that they last about 3 times as long as alkaline AA batteries and a bit longer than Rechargeable AA batteries. A personal example, I used alkaline AA's and got about 120 pics, using rechargeable, I got around 200, and with lithium, it was about 300. Lithium batteries last longer and cost more than alkaline batteries. I find the best value is rechargeable batteries. They last longer and can be used again and again after charging them up. Over the long term, they cost less than other AA's.
