Hmmm, do i have to replace rechargable batteries with the ones of the same capacity?

[aphex]

The rechargable batteries in my MX700 went, and the ones included were 1650mah...

Would i run into any issues replacing them with 2100mah's?

It will be fine.

I run 2200's in my MX700.

no

Only if you don't want your MX700 to last longer than it did with the 1650's.

Also, remember that your charger is just as important as the batteries you use, since it is directly responsible for how full they get and how many charge cycles you get out of them.

I run 4500 cause I'm nuttier than squirrel turds.

In reality though I don't have that camera, but you'll be fine.

I have a bunch of the Powerex 2200's. Love them.

Well, damn I still don't have one. Sounds like a diamond multimedia soundcard!

MX700?

Google calls it a wireless mouse, I see!

He should do an extreme drain test. I get about 30 pictures out of my batteries before the camera starts complaining. It's a Kodak DX3500.

Read the article, it is an extreme drain test.

If you are only getting 30 shots out of your batteries, there is either something wrong with your batteries or they are not being fully charged by your charger(Or that Kodak cam uses like 25Ah:Q)

I get 300 - 500 pics out of my Powerex 2200's and A60.

I tested batteries in sets of four, as they're most commonly used in digicams. I used a total load resistance of about 5 ohms, providing peak discharge currents of a bit under an amp (1000 milliamps), equivalent to a fairly power-hungry digicam running with its LCD turned on in capture mode. This isn't an absolute worst-case test, but should be pretty representative of what batteries will encounter with real-world digicams (as opposed to the sort of gentle discharge curves used by manufacturers when setting the mAh ratings). For the techies out there, this is a discharge rate of about 0.6C for 1600 mAh cells, as compared to the 0.1C discharge rate used to determine the normal mAh rating of batteries.

I want to see the worst case.

Edit: I'm taking pictures now to see how many it will do.

Still, though.. 30 pics is in no way normal. That's ridiculous.

If your cam has an A/C input, look on it and see how many amps it draws if it says. I bet its like 1.1A.

According to Image Resource, it should last about 70 minutes with the LCD on and 1600mAh batteries. I don't really know why they use minutes instead of images captured.. seems kinda silly.

Well, I notice that if I let it sit up for a couple of days, the battery life drops quickly.

I use the same AA batteries in my MP3 CD player and they last for a few days of listening (about 20-24 hours).

Edit: The camera is 3.3V@2.5A.
