I have yet to find a more versatile, useful and ubiquitous product than RCR-V3 Lithium Ion Digital Camera Battery. This guide is to present information on the product and things to look for when you are purchasing a replacement battery for your camera.
RCR-V3 is a rechargeable version of its popular Cousin CR-V3. The CR-V3 costs about 6. This is supplied as a package when you buy a new camera. With your new found enthusiasm for your new found toy you tend to click and click and many times using flash. This results in the battery being drained very quickly. You are faced with a stark reality of replacing it with another expensive battery.
Invariably you dont have time to go to the photo shop,or shop on Ebay and Amazon, so you look to replace this with a standard AA battery. You would soon realise that the power hungry camera would drain the normal AA batteryhours. You would then try to replace this with a rechargeable AA battery which is a lot more expensive albeit rechargeable. Although this option is a lot less expensive, you will be lucky if the charge lastsOne day. For those special moments the camera is ready to click but fails miserably - Just when you need it most The Magic moment is foreverlost! The picture is onlyin yourmemory. Failure! Dejection! Misery , even Depression!
If thisis your story so far - read on because the right thing to do is to replace your CR-V3 with the RCR-V3 and get a mains recharger for this battery. Although the option is slightly more expensive, it is the long lasting solution to your camera battery problems. For a small investment you would save more than 2400 over the life time of the battery ( Assume 400 recharges).

Typical selling price of a battery + charger is about 25 + postage at most popular Web sites. In Ebay you can get it for about 12. Again watch very carefully the price of postage, packing and shipping costs. Some times you can be hit for 23% customs duty and Vat when you import from outside the EU. Also watch out for sellers from Hongkong and China promising the delivery from UK but in reality they actually ship from Hongkong and China - if you care to look at their delivery time.
Ensure that the Charger is CE and ROHS(Removal of Hazardous Substances regulations) compliant.
Warranty is another item you should be aware of. Most sellers provide 1 year warranty from date of purchase. This proves useless if the goods are shipped from China or Hongkong due to cost of postage being greater than the cost of product.
mAh
Batteries come in various capacities in terms of mAh. The capacity of a battery to store charge is often expressed inampere hours.If a battery can provide one ampere (1A) of current (flow) for one hour, it has a capacity of 1Ah. If it can provide 1A for 100hours, its capacity is 100Ah. There for the higher the mAh the higher is the retention and need to recharge and you get more shots for a single charge. So dont be fooled by the price again - Check price per mAh you may be paying more for less!
You should also note that Batteries expire in life so you should not really go by the price only as a consideration.
It does not matter Where you buy from as long as you Buy - you will Save not only money but those PRECIOUS MAGIC MOMENTS ON YOUR CAMERA !
