Battery Selection Guide:
It is important to use only AA batteries designed for high drain electronic
devices.
Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH)
We suggest using SeaLife 1800 mAh Ni-MH rechargeable batteries or higher
mAh rated Ni-MH battery. With Ni-MH batteries, you can expect about 2 hours
of normal operating usage. Ni-MH batteries can be recharged about 1000 times
without the “memory” problems that you get with Ni-CAD batteries
With proper power management you can get through a dive day and recharge
your batteries at night.
Do not expose Ni-MH batteries to water or moisture. Properly dispose of any
Ni-MH battery exposed to water or moisture.
See specific warning on battery.
Lithium
Lithium AA batteries are suitable for the SeaLife digital camera. AA Lithium
batteries typically will last 5 times longest, cost the most and are not recharge-
able.
Standard and High Energy Alkaline
Do not use alkaline batteries, like Duracell Coppertop, since they may only last
about 10 minutes in the SeaLife Digital Camera.
If you cannot use Ni-MH rechargeable batteries, you may use new “high
energy” alkaline batteries that last a longer than standard alkaline batteries, but
not as long as SeaLife Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. The following are
examples of “high energy” alkaline batteries:
1. Duracell Ultra
2. Panasonic (high energy)
3. Energizer Titanium or E3 (High Energy)
Do not attempt to recharge alkaline batteries.
