Digital Camera External Battery

[Shabbychic]

Has anyone ever tried a Digital Camera External Battery like this one. My batteries never last so I thought about trying this out. Any advice would be appreciated.

biggest mistake i made was buying a camera which has a spececial battery a complete pest when it goes flat if i could go back again i would buy a camera that takes aa batteries a lot easier to aquire spare batteries if ure out and about

if i was buying a portable charger i would probably go for the solar one which can charge other devices up and it can be used world and it being solar it charges itself up the link is below

My camera is an antique (HP photosmart) so I had to find something that would fit it, and the above external battery does. I just need something that will last more than an hour.

Thanks Eddie. I can't really afford to splash out on a new camera at the moment, and this wee fella might be old but still works well. I just get so fed up with the batteries giving up on me.
