GREENBATTERIES

The most efficient and least expensive way to power many
cameras (not the S300) and other electronic devices is with
environmentally friendly, rechargeable NiMH (Nickel-Metal
Hydride) batteries. And with new hi-tech battery chargers, you
can be back shooting in just a few hours. But you don’t just need
batteries, you also have to carry and store them. For those needs,
be sure to check out battery wallets to carry sets of spare batter-
ies on your belt, and a battery caddy to keep sets of batteries
organized at your home or office. The people I recommend for all
of your battery needs (and I don’t get paid for saying this) are the
folks at GreenBatteries.com at http://www.greenbatteries.com.
These creative people are solving those small nagging battery
problems that drive digital photographers crazy. If you tell them
Denny Curtin at ShortCourses sent you and you and buy one or
more battery wallets, they’ll throw in another one free.

A battery wallet slips in your purse or pocket or attaches to your belt
and makes your batteries easier to carry, and easier to store.

(Tip: when charged, put batteries in
the wallet right side up. When dead,
insert them right side down. This way
you’ll always know which battery sets
are charged and which aren’t.)

At home it’s easy to misplace your batteries. Letting them just roll
around on the counter isn’t the ideal solution. To keep them organized,
you need a desktop battery caddy. Like a wallet, a caddy keeps battery
sets together and makes them easy to find. Just as with the wallet, when
charged, put batteries in the caddy right side up. When dead, insert
them right side down
