Default Substituting NiMH and NiCD for Alkaline?

Hi,

I am currently in South Korea and have been looking for rechargeable
alkaline batteries for my digital camera. It's an HP 620 and is
supposed to run on 4 x AA Alkaline batteries. Back in North America I
was using rechargeable alkaline batteries that I bought at Walmart,
but I can't find these anywhere over here.

I have, however, found rechargeable AA NiCD and NiMH batteries. Is it
ok to go ahead and use these in place of the alkalines, or will this
damage my camera?

Thanks in advance,

Jason Ducharme


It couldn't damage your camera, but if it's not manifactured for operation
with rechargebles it could happen that it operate shorter because the
voltage for rechargebles is 1.2V instead of 1.5 for alkaline.
