I have a Canon PowerShot camera. It does take batteries, it takes those square battery pack things. Do those things need to be replaced a lot? I've had mine for less than a year but, I take tons of pics and my battery won't work now even after I charge it--How often do they need to be changed?
Your digicam makes use of an Li-ion battery and that they are able to final for no less than ten years. Mine have after all. you're able to desire to deal which includes your batteries wisely. on no account enable them to take a seat down completely discharged, this might do extra injury than the different element you're able to desire to do The nighttime beforehand you opt for to apply the digicam, placed the battery in its charger and enable it fee in one day there may be yet another concern and Canon can help you with it. 800.ok-CANON
It would help to know the model number of the camera you are using. Also, the battery's model number found on the sticker on the back of the battery. The newer ones, such as NB-4L and NB-5L have a slightly longer battery life, but either way they shouldn't be dead immediately after charging. I had this same problem when I bought a third party battery pack for my Canon SD550. The battery worked fine for a few weeks, but after a while it could barely hold any charge at all. I would recommend that you buy an official Canon battery pack (one that has Canon engraved into the battery itself). If this doesn't work, you may have a problem with your camera itself.
