Camera batteries power all the electrical components of a digital camera, like the electronic viewfinder and the LCD screen. Having spare or replacement camera batteries is essential if you are going on a long trip or want to power your camera for multiple shoots without having to stop and charge them. Our lithium-ion camera batteries are a popular choice among professionals since they are lighter, hold a charge for longer, and can withstand extreme temperatures. But camera batteries are only useful as long as they're charged. Our camera battery chargers plug into standard wall outlets and allow you to recharge your camera batteries quickly, so you can be ready for any photo opportunity.
Naturally, the camera battery and accompanying camera charger you select will depend on the camera brand and model you are using. At Samy's Camera, we have Canon camera batteries and charges, as well as supplies for other major brands like Nikon, Sony, and Fujifilm. You'll also find third-party batteries and chargers from brands like Promaster, Jupio, Godox, Vivitar, and more. Check your camera requirements to find compatible camera batteries.
When Should I Replace My Camera Battery?
It's impossible to give an exact lifetime of your camera batteries with so many sizes, models, and brands. Your mileage will also vary based on the frequency with which you use and charge your camera batteries. As a ballpark figure, however, a high-quality camera battery should last around 4 or 5 years with average use. You'll know it's time to replace your batteries when they start to run out faster than they used to.
Are All Camera Battery Chargers the Same?
No. Each camera battery charger is designed to fit a specific model of battery. Many camera manufacturers design specific camera batteries and camera chargers for their models of cameras. But, third-party manufacturers also create camera battery chargers that are compatible with popular brands and models.
