Notes on the xD-Picture Card™ Power Supply and Batteries Using the AA-size Ni-MH Batteries h As a power source in digital cameras, AA-size NiMH batteries (referred to hereafter as Ni-MH batteries) are superior to alkaline batteries in several ways, such as allowing more shots to be taken with the camera. However, care must be taken with the way Ni-MH batteries are used if their original performance is to be maintained. h Ni-MH batteries left unused in storage for long periods can become “deactivated”.

Explanation of Terms FUJIFILM Digital Camera Worldwide Network Deactivated batteries Leaving an Ni-MH battery unused in storage for a long period may cause a rise in the level of substances that inhibit current flow inside the battery and result in a dormant battery. A battery in this state is referred to as deactivated. Because current flow is inhibited in a deactivated Ni-MH battery, the battery’s original level of performance cannot be achieved.
