Sony DSC-P93 battery replacement question

No it would not be advised to go for a lower mAh as your phone would not perform as eficiently and also too I would recommend to replace it with same as qriginal 1.2 v -Ni-MH battery . And you can get any battery from Amazon .Com at avery good price, that is my go to place if I want something specific.

try with other type of rechargeable batteries.Duracell or Energizer will do the best. Read carefully on the package the year when battery was made. Over 2-3 years,the electrolite from the batteries may became dry, reducing the power capacity. You must buy fresh battery. But you must know that many digital cameras drain more than 2 Ampere from the batteries even without flash on. That means you need minimum 2700 mA/h cells to last longer. I hope this will help you.

may be batteries you brought are old try with normal ( not rechargeble ) batteries. it would not last long but you can take atleast 30 to 50 photos. if it works it means new batteries are faulty.this type of problem i never saw in camera.use SANYO harmolattice HR-3UQ batteries.

Try cleaning the battery contacts in the camera first with a pencil eraser and then with a cotton swab lightly dampened with rubbing alcohol.

Z710 can use:

This is not specific to your camera, just general advice. I think that Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are recommended for most digital cameras. However, you should be able to use normal alkaline batteries too.

I found that one has to use their batteries of at least 2100mAh and NI-MH. I recharged my batteries removed the new ordinary alkaline batteries I had put in and BINGO IT WORKED. Just to prove the point I put in another set of Alkaline batteries No good. It must be that NI-MH Batteries rated at 2100mAH have more power (or one can draw more currentat start up) a battery guru could maybe veryify my conclusions. Anyhow try NI-MH batteries and see how you go. Best of luck fredlich

Had similar problems with a DSC-P93 and found av clue to a solution on the internet: Change to new batteries, the original Sony Ni-Mh 2100 mAh seems to have gone really bad!

try to switch to rechargeable Ni-MH batteries, i'm not sure it supposed to work properly with Alkaline, that's why Sony supplied battery charger and their Stamina batteries with this camera
