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 1600 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 the longest, cost the most and are not rechargeable.

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.
