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 C amera.
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.
