Now are the days of digital cameras and most come with rechargeable batteries. I have recently come across some fascinating information on how to properly care for your batteries. If you were at all like me you may have thought that all you needed to do was charge it, use it up and re charge again...
Firstly how long a battery stays charged depends on a few things. Things like zooming in and out a lot, constantly reviewing your pictures through the LCD screen and using your LCD screen instead of your optical finder to take pictures will drain your battery much quicker.
Extremely cold weather will also drain your batteries very quickly. Contrary to that, cold temperatures are only bad for the battery when it's actually being used. It is recommended to store charged batteries that are not being used in the freezer. Yes, the freezer! This will help the batteries to hold charge longer but you must let them warm up before using them in your camera.
