Hi All,
I am new to Nikon and just picked up a Nikon L840. I bought it to get more into photography (landscapes, outdoors and storms). At the same time I picked up the camera, I also purchased the batteries in the link below. Guy that I dealt with purchasing the camera advised his wife has the same camera and uses these batteries and switches the two sets of these batteries. I was going to purchase lithium batteries but according to the instructions and what is on Nikon's site, it says Ni-MH batteries only. I am assuming that this means not to use lithium.
So after I got home and just opened the camera box this morning, pulled out the instruction books and it says to only use Nikon branded accessories. I then googled and most people on the Nikon forum site that answered questions concerning this said any "AA" type battery (either alkaline or rechargeable works). I have them charging now but before I put them in, I wanna see if anyone on here uses these types of batteries or knows what to use. According to batteries plus and several other battery sites there are pretty much any battery you could buy that is used with this camera.
Energizer Battery Co Chvcmwb-4 Energizer Value Charger Accs W/4 Aa Batt (chvcmwb4) - Walmart.com
The spec's on these batteries (AA - 1.2v - HR6 w/1300mAh).
Will these work and be alright without any issues??
Thanks in advance for the advise.
