In Reply to: Battery usage for HP215 posted by RBP on March 10, 2001 at 23:26:34:
Digicams eat batts , I use NiMh 1600 ma rechargeables for my Nikon and it's flash as well as a zillion other things at home , it's the only way to go.
Using conventional batteries is a disaster and is really only meant for emergencies

I can get Rodney about 30 pics, then the light comes on, and no more.Will the NiMh Batts last longer at all, or just that I get rechargability?
Those buggers cost much?
What is cool, is I can get literally Hundreds, if not thousands of AA's for free, buy going to a camera Shop, and asking for the batteries from their disposable camereas. All I have to do is sign a sheet saying they will be disposed of properly.
The 30 shots came from a new set though. I tryed a set from the rubbish dump, got 26 out of those, but I see I will "wear out" the Battery compartment cover.
Rodney, your help is alway appreciated, and the whole "deal" of the Digital camera is fasntastic (for what I am doing with it).
I do have an ME super Pentax as my regular "beater" .
