G700 FAQs - By Product
[Question] What type of battery can be used with the G700 ?
The battery that can be used is as follows.
Rechargeable battery : DB-65 (included in the package)
This is a lithium-ion battery. The battery charger (BJ-6) is required to charge the battery. This is the most efficient option since the battery will maintain the charge for a long time and can be recharged.[About the DB-65, rechargeable battery.]
AAA alkaline batteries (available in stores)
These are relatively-available everywhere, so it is convenient while travelling. However, in low-temperature, the storage capacity of shots will decrease.AAA Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries (available in stores)
This is an economical option as one can recharge and reuse it over again. Please use a battery charger available in stores. The nickel-metal hydride batteries available in stores may not be charged and consequently may not supply power immediately after purchase or when left unused for more than a month. The batteries may need to be recharged two or three times before use. The batteries self-discharge over time even if the camera is not used, so recharge them before use.[Note]
| • | Use only genuine RICOH rechargeable batteries, DB-65. Please never use other lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. See this site for the details. |
| • | The nickel-metal hydride batteries available in store are not factory-charged. Charge them before use. |
| • | The nickel-metal hydride batteries may not be charged and consequently may not supply power immediately after purchase or when left unused for more than a month. In such case, recharge the batteries two or three times before use. |
