Battery Backup Guide

I am planning a 6 day camping trip, but my camera battery will only last about 1 day. I could buy 6 batteries but that would cost hundreds!

I do have a battery charger (plugs into a wall outlet)… does anyone know of a small generator or maybe a battery that gives power to an AC outlet that I could take along? It wouldn’t take much power to charge my battery, I just need a way to do it from the top of a mountain.
No cars.. this is the top of a mountain!

It’s said that if you want to prolong the shelf life of a battery you should put it in the fridge. That makes sens to me because it’s slowing down the internal reactions of the battery.

However, whenever I walk to class with my laptop in the winter or have my camera in my pocket in the winter it significantly decreases the charge on the battery. Why this contradiction?

I have an Olympus 5.0 megapixel digital camera and every battery I’m using, the camera just eats them. It takes AA batteries. The batteries I’m using now are basic Duracell’s. I’m looking for suggestions on the best brand of batteries that can give my camera more life. Thanks in advance!

I have a 2002 Explorer and the battery will periodically die for no reason at all. Every time I turn off the engine, I try to make sure everything is off. And like once every couple of months, I will be surprised with a dead battery. I am on my 3rd battery and they all have done the same thing. I was wondering if it was the computer causing the battery to go dead.

I drive a 1992 Acura Integra. I want to buy a battery charger and booster pack for it.

I just checked my battery and I cannot find the voltage anywhere on it…does anyone know where to find this? Or can someone tell me based on the car I drive? My manual will not specify my battery specs.

For my booster pack: I’ve noticed they come with varying amps- how do I know which one is right for my car?

calories asked:


The battery on my generator just went dead so I hooked the battery charger onto it. I’m not sure if the battery is fully charged yet. Will the generator charge the battery up the rest of the way if I have enough charge to get the engine started?? I didn’t know if the generator worked similarly to a car charging the battery with the alternator. Thanks for your help!!

I have an ‘07 Mustang I bought new. It has less than 27,000 miles on it. I’ve been informed that it needs a new battery, but it seems like this NEW battery in a NEW car didn’t last very long. I’ve bought used cars with the original battery that lasted longer - a 3 yrs old car with over 70,000 miles on it, drove for 2 more years on the original battery. So how long SHOULD a car battery last?
Thank You for your answers - glad I bought that extended warrenty!

How to save the battery on a battery wireless mouse with no power button? I have a Microsoft 5000 mouse and I usually leave my PC on 24/7. Will this be constantly killing the battery, or is the battery barely used with the mouse is in idle state?
