Hi Felix,
No worries. I get this question all the time. The AA battery size is probably the most common one on the planet. The challenge is that it is also available in a variety of battery chemistries and they all have different strengths and weaknesses. Here is a webpage that goes into some more detail so that you can better understand the choices. Your camera should use all AA 1.2 or 1.5 volt batteries - rechargeable or not - and may also use CRV3 batteries (this is a type of battery that is basically the size and shape of two AA batteries but it is in a specific battery pack and can not be used on all devices that use AA batteries.)
Here is that link with more info on AA rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries - http://www.greenbatteries.com/aa-battery-faqs.html
Hope that helps.
Sincerely,
Curtis

| Hi Curtis, I recently bought a Pentax K200D digital slr camera which came with 4 Energizer AA size #03-2023 lithium batteries, but I am confused about the warning label: "could explode when charged and not for retail trade." The label does not say rechargeable. According to your website's info, Lithium batteries are not rechargeable, while Lithium-ion batteries are and they last longer. Would you clarify my technology muddled mind; I would like to purchase the appropriate batteries and charger for my camera. Thanks, Felix |
