Recharchable batteries?

[AntiFreze]

Ok, so the Canon Rebel K2 is a 35mm, but its sill and SLR. It eats the little lithium C2 batteries like candy, and they cost $15 a piece. Is there a recharble version of this? The only thing I've been able to find is this:

BP-220 Battery
http://www.amazon.com/Canon-BP...-Cameras/dp/B00008A5VN

Which takes 4 AA batteries (and some people say recharble ones won't work in this)

if they do, then you also have to buy this:

So the total cost is $35+$30 = $75 before shipping? The camera was only $200....



Any other options??

I don't see why rechargeables wouldn't work in that. But you should be able to find those C2's cheaper.

I don't know about these places, but here's a couple links:

The only thing that I could find for rechargeable CR2 (NOT C2) batteries is this:

Otherwise if you want to use AAs you're stuck having to buy the battery grip. Rechargeable AA NiMH batteries say they are only 1.2V, but fully charged they put out ~1.45V, which should be enough to power the camera. Don't know how long they will hold this 1.45V for though. You don't HAVE to buy the Energizer charger though. Any decent AA charger should work.

Haha...the ones I linked are just 2 C batts aren't they? lol

I didn't even notice the alkaline.

Two options:

1) Rechargeable CR2 + Charger (here is a higher quality charger but it requires spacers to fit CR2 batteries)

2) Inexpensive CR2 disposables
