Camera Batteries

When I purchased my Canon I figured I'd buy rechargable batteries and a battery charger(two sets), I went to that great store that went bankrupt Circuit City. I would take two pictures and the battery low light would come on, if I didnt change the batteries the camera would shut down, both sets did this. I thought something was wrong with the camera download so I bought a card reader, still happened. I bought new batteries(4) and I'm going on two weeks, no wonder they're out of business, selling stuff like that.

Did you buy new rechargable batteries?

Yes I did, Duracell NiMH, they seem to be the ticket.

Not all NiMH are the same. Look on the battery and the # on the side will read 1500mha and could be up to 2200 on a AA battery. This is how much power that could be released. So a Google search would tell you more but will look for my notes on batterys when my kids and I raced Tamiya mini 4WD We won over 60% of the races from battery choice
