Digital camera batteries

As battery technology continues to improve, camera battery packs recharge

faster, contain a higher charge capacity, and maintain a longer lifespan. While
many digital cameras used to rely on disposable batteries, most cameras now
feature rechargeable batteries for a more environmentally friendly and budget-
friendly approach.

Digital cameras require a robust power source for functionality, so

most DSLRs and mirrorless cameras take advantage of the benefits provided by
lithium-ion batteries (Li-ion). Also referred to as li-ion batteries, these
rechargeable battery packs are smaller than other types of batteries and have a
larger power capacity. With Li-ion batteries, you’ll get a lot of use out of your
invest. Many camera manufacturers stick with a certain lithium-ion battery design
for multiple generations of cameras. Moreover, Li-ion battery has a negative
electrode (anode), typically made of graphite from which lithium ion move
through an electrolyte to the positive electrode (cathode), made from an
intercalated lithium compound. During a charging, opposite happens and lithium
ion move from the positive to the negative electrode. The batteries gradually
degenerate in this process which in every battery has a predicted number of full
and discharge cycles. This means that even if you upgrade your DSLR, you may
be able to continue using your same lithium-ion batteries.

Lithium-ion battery technology is so impressive compared to other types of

batteries. It supports plenty of devices beyond photography equipment. Cell
phones, laptops, electric vehicles, hearing aids, power tools, and other high-tech
gadgets use lithium-ion batteries as powerful yet portable power sources.
