He was asking a question about AA Nickel Metal Hydride Batteries. As happens here quite often it took a second post to make that clear.

I do use Ni-MH AA rechargeable batteries on all my flash-light, they make the flash recycling faster and lasts longer than most alkaline battery.

For rechargeable batteries; Quality (and of course Price) play a big role in performance. I have some Fuji P&S cameras the do everything via electricity, and use rechargeable AA or any other type AA (autofocus, and power zoom, and all the other actions) and high quality rechargeable cells work the best, just like high quality Alkaline cells. A consistent high quality charger is also a great step. I can usually get 350-500 shots with NIMH rechargeable cells if used over the course of a couple of days. If they set for long periods of time the charge falls off and you get a less (NIMH cells will generally fall off faster than Lithium Ion LI-ON, or LI-PO Lithium Polymer). Alkaline cells will hold their charge for a long time, and can handle long rests better, but when they are done, game over (which is why I never use them in cameras, unless there is no other option).
Hope this helps with your situation.

I'm sorry but I cannot let this go without saying something. You need to re-read your post(s) and make corrections before hitting the "send" button. Your English usage and spelling is horrible.
Regarding the battery issue, do you have a manual for the camera? If not, try to find one because the manufacturers will oftentimes explain how you can extend the battery life.

That is really sad.

Take your trash talk and put it in the trash can with last week newspapers.

Cameras will drink battery juice. It is a fact of life. Just like leaves falling off trees and dogs barking in the night. I only use original manufacturer batteries. I have several in my bag. Cheap batteries won't hold a charge for a long time. Cheap batteries will leak. And they leak quicker when you have an expensive (over a thousand dollars) camera. (It's proportional to the cost). The more the camera does the more it uses power. I have a Canon 5D Mark IV. With the GPS and WiFi on,I will switch out a battery every other day. Shut down extra functions. Use them when needed. Turn off the camera when not in use. Since cameras have a Color LCD screen, there is plenty of juice going to it too.
Good Luck and Happy Shooting!

This is a no brainer. Get a bunch of batteries. As Sony got more technology and features in their
mirror cameras the batteries didn't last that long. Makes sense. Instead NP-FW50's and fit my a6000,
a6300, a7s II, Nex series, the RX10 series etc. For me having one battery type across this line
is great. Also certain 3rd party batteries work fine. Sony's batteries are really expensive. Wasabi is excellent. Bower is OK. And I have batteries that came with the cameras. One of these Sony batteries is 50 bucks.
You can buy 2 wasabi's with a charger on Amazon for $23 bucks.
Memory cards Philip Bloom online recommended Transcend and they have been solid.

Many of the current 'smart' cameras have WiFi or Bluetooth capability which draws power unless you turn ON Airplane Mode.

So far as I have been able to discover, all modern digital cameras use Lithium-ion batteries. All batteries of whatever design all have their own unique internal impediance which, in part, determines current flow. The camera electronics has its own internal impediance which sets a current requirement based on design voltage. Maybe an electronic engineer reader here might explain how these relate.

It was my impression that if you take the Batt. s out of the camera for very long periods of time, the camera's Clock & Date will have to be reset.

True or false?

I would agree with that statement.
