In Canon A710 IS I am finding battery problem.It doesnt work for a few shots. Which kind of battery is useful and good performer ?

Often, when you purchase batteries in bulk, it isn't uncommon that some or many of them are near dead or worse. Batteries bought in bulk tend to have a long turnover and such, can lose much of their battery power before they are used. And many batteries such as AAs are general purpose batteries and are not designed for the high energy use of digital cameras and the flashes they trigger. As such, I recommend using high energy batteries designed for digital photography. Varta is a good brand. They are usually sold in camera shops, are long lasting (because they are sold in small quantities) put out alot of energy.

And, even though you think you've put in fresh batteries, underpowered batteries are just as bad. At the very least, make sure you are using Alkalines. Even better, batteries with a higher mAh - like around 2500mAh would satisfy the higher power requirements of your camera.

Hi, I noticed that you haven't marked any replies as the "best answer." Are you still looking for an answer? If so, I recommend you re-submit it on http://www.digitalcamera-hq.com so it will have a better chance of being noticed. These days it looks like most questions are being answered within a few days.

Hi Utpal Sharma,
Have you been able to correct your camera's problem? Do you have any more information for us to work with to try and help you?

What about fake batteries ? What about a camera defect ? Yes. I have the same problem here, but in my case it seems to be a camera defect that drains the charge very fast.

i also have the same camera and the batteries go after 10-12 flash shots

I also have an A710IS.problem is the battery does not last very long even if i charge overnight, doesn't last one day of shooting.I use Sanyo 2500mh battery, is there a better one in the market? a longlasting one, please help me

I also think the fault is with the camera. I have tried new cells from various makers, with capacities from 1500 to 2500mh.
Some last longer than others of the same mah. This seems to be due to quality of the manufacturer.
I think the problem is the low voltage, not the current. A fully charged cell will work for a few minutes to 10 m. or until the voltage drop to 1.2. At his stage the cell will recover to just below 1.3v and operate for many more hours on other equipment. Using alkaline batteries is no problem, but expensive. I am about to give up on NM-Hd and try Lithium 1.5v cells, the L91, which last 5 to 7 times longer than alkaline. Maplin have them for sale at £3.99 for 4, only £1 more than alkaline.
I use a Sony Mini disc charger, which fits the socket on the Canon. It checks out at 3volts 500ma on my meter, and works for hours without getting warm. So the current doesn't seem to be the problem, but it's the voltage.
Canons own charger is rated at 2 amps, 3volts, which suggests 3volts is needed, but 500ma seems to be more than adequate in use.
Hope this helps
