Why are lithium batteries particularly suited for cameras?
Lithium batteries offer relatively high volume-specific energy (approx.800mWh/cm3). In addition, lithium batteries, which have spirally wound large-surface electrodes, have a high load capability and high capacity retention during storage. Both the lithium battery’s longer operating time and its higher cell voltage of 3V are important in camera applications, The latest generation of cameras is fitted out with numerous automatic functions, which means increased energy coupled with relatively high load requirements. Lithium batteries of this type are a particularly good choice for today’s cameras.
