t's hard to believe that before 2007, a low-cost laptop was one that came in under $1,000. But that was before the Netbook revolution kicked off, inspired by the Intel Classmate and the One Laptop Per Child XO, and spearheaded initially by Asus and its original Eee PC (which had a 7-inch display and ran Linux). From that point on, every PC maker was forced (some more reluctantly than others) to embrace this new subgenre, and Netbooks were everywhere.
Until, like all fads, the Netbook burned out. Part of the reason was clearly Apple's iPad, which became the new go-to entry-level computing device for people who either didn't need or want a full PC, or just wanted a reasonably priced travel device for e-mail and Web surfing. The iPad itself has kicked off a gold rush of sorts, with the same companies that pushed countless me-too Netbooks onto store shelves now doing the same with touch-screen slates (perhaps we'll look back on this a year or two from now as the Tablet Bubble).
But the real reason Netbooks have fallen by the wayside is that they failed to evolve. After the first couple of generations, Netbooks settled into a comfortable niche of a 10.1-inch display, 1GB to 2GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, and Windows (first XP, then Windows 7 Starter or Home Premium). You could get this basic combo for as little as $299, but some companies would charge more for upgrades such as nicer designs, rugged bodies, 3G antennas, or occasionally a higher-resolution display. But performance-wise, you'd usually be hard-pressed to tell the difference between a $299 Netbook and a $450 one.
The most recent Netbooks have almost all moved to the latest version of Intel's Atom processor, the dual-core N550, but in both our benchmark tests and anecdotal use, it hasn't been a huge step past the older models with the single-core Atom N450, adding to the feeling that today's Netbooks weren't much of an upgrade over the ones from a year or two ago.
In the meantime, larger laptops have made huge leaps, especially with Intel's second-generation Core i-series platform, which has boosted performance and battery life across the board. And 11-inch ultraportables with AMD's Fusion E-350 CPU have created a new market for laptops that provide relatively good performance and battery life, often for less than $500 (these systems arguably evolved from the handful of larger 11-inch Netbooks we'd seen over the years).
To be sure, many PC makers still have a Netbook or two in their lines, and even offer occasional updates and upgrades, but they're not being pushed like they used to. Sony, for example, has dropped Netbooks entirely from its Vaio line. Netbooks have definitely fallen off a cliff, but the question is, just how far?
One way to get a good barometer of the state of the Netbook market is to look at how many Netbooks (which we're defining for the purposes of this example as a 10- or 11-inch laptop with an Intel Atom CPU) we've tested and reviewed. Here's a quick chart of those numbers for last year and this year.
The data shows us that Netbooks are down, but not necessarily out. In the same time period, 11 tablets have been reviewed, from the iPad 2 to the Motorola Xoom to the BlackBerry PlayBook.
Another slice of data shows how many CNET readers have been reading about either Netbooks or tablets each month. Netbook interest peaked in December 2009, and has been declining most months since. Today it's down 54 percent since the launch of the iPad in April 2009. Tablets, on the other hand, have been growing in reader interest since the iPad launch (with a few ups and downs along the way), and is 56 percent higher in April 2011 than it was one year before.
The chart below illustrates this inverse relationship, counting unique monthly visitors who have viewed a product-specific page, such as the product review, product specs, or user reviews for either a Netbook or tablet.
What does the future hold for traditional Netbooks? Probably not much, unless the next generation of them offers some substantial evolutionary upgrades, and we'll likely have to wait for Intel's new Atom N2700 and N2800 processors to see if that happens. We've been onboard with Netbooks from day one, but it really does look like this category is getting squeezed from both ends, with tablets on one side and ultraportables on the other, and the prognosis is definitely grim.
Have Netbooks fallen off your radar as a computer user? Would you consider retiring your desktop or laptop entirely for a tablet? What would new Netbooks have to do to win back your attention? Let us know what you think in the comments section below. In the meantime, we've put together a quick walk-through of some of the coolest and most interesting or innovative Netbook designs from 2007 to today in a handy gallery.

A Big News For Motorola Atrix and Lapdock
A phone that becomes a netbook presents a new world of possibilities, but it's not all smooth sailing.
The Motorola Atrix is one of the most highly anticipated gadgets of the year, not just because it’s a slick high-end Android smartphone but also because you can slip it into a lapdock and transform it into an 11.6-inch netbook. The Atrix sounds like the ultimate all-in-one gadget for road warriors, but sacrifices must be made.
There’s a lot of ground to cover here and to be honest I’m more interested in the Atrix’s netbook-esque features than the phone itself. Yet this is where the Atrix concept starts to falter - because if you’re embracing the phone-as-a-netbook concept then you’re tying yourself to the phone. Forget about just upgrading your phone or just your netbook, their destinies are forever intertwined. The trouble is that the Atrix’s lapdock costs $AU449 and weighs 1.1 kg - both around the same as an entry-level netbook. In other words, for the price of the Atrix and the lapdock I could use my phone of choice and carry around a separate netbook running my OS of choice. For a few dollars more I could get a tablet.
When connected to the lapdock the Atrix runs the Ubuntu-based webtop interface - which does little more than run Firefox and offer access the phone’s features. So it’s not going to match the functionality of a netbook or tablet. In terms of functionality webtop is closer to the Chromebooks we’ll see later this year, which will probably come in around $AU500 and only run the Chrome browser.
Generally reviews save this kind of analysis to the end, but I think it’s a conversation you need to have up front because it affects your view of every aspect of the Atrix and lapdock. If the lapdock was $200 cheaper things might be different but, as it is, whenever you look at a feature of the Atrix/lapdock you have to ask yourself if a standalone entry-level netbook would do a better job. In many areas I’d say the Atrix/lapdock comes off second best.
So what are we talking about here? The Atrix is a 4-inch smartphone running Android 2.2 with a dual 1GHz processor under the bonnet accompanied by 1GB of RAM. It features a sharp 960x540 resolution display which gives it a pixel density of 275 ppi, impressive but still short of the iPhone 4’s 329 ppi.
Despite the generous screen size the Atrix weighs in at 135 gm, so it’s comfortable to hold and slips easily into your pocket. The tough Gorilla Glass display means it should survive some rough and tumble if the sturdy Motorola Defy is anything to go by. Advanced features include front and rear cameras, a micro-HDMI output and a fingerprint reader. The Atrix is available exclusively from Telstra as of June 7, for $840 outright or $59 per month plan (plus $20 per month for the handset) for 24 months.
As for the lapdock, it features an 11.6-inch display and a full QWERTY keyboard accompanied by a large trackpad. You’ve got two USB ports, built-in speakers and a built-in battery which can charge the phone. At the rear a dock flips out as a resting place for the Atrix, although getting it on and off the connectors is awkward and you could easily damage the dock if you don’t take care. The lapdock lacks a built-in webcam and the phone’s front and rear cameras are useless when it’s in the lapdock, unless you want to look at the back of the screen or the desk.
The lapdock’s screen resolution is 1366x768 and it offers a bright picture with good contrast, decent colour accuracy and reasonable viewing angles. So far so good, but looking down at the keyboard is when the disappointment sets in.
Considering the size of the lapdock’s base, as you can see in the picture above, it’s a shame the keyboard is so small and the trackpad so large. The keyboard is 260mm wide, which is about standard for a notebook of this size. Unfortunately the five rows of keys are only 80mm high whereas your average keyboard notebook is closer to 100mm. It doesn’t sound like much, but an almost 20 per cent reduction in the height of the keys has a huge impact on useability and makes the lapdock frustrating to type on. The small keyboard is such a waste of the available space - I’ve seen 10-inch netbooks with bigger keyboards. The lack of a full-sized right shift key will annoy some users, as will the lack of dedicated multimedia keys.
Considering the whole point of the lapdock is to provide Atrix owners with a decent typing experience, the lapdock’s small keyboard is a major blow to the feasibility of Motorola’s phone-as-a-netbook concept. I’d much rather use Motorola’s impressive $79 Bluetooth keyboard than struggle with the lapdock. I tried writing sections of this blog post on the lapdock and it’s certainly slow going. As soon as I build up any speed I started brushing the wrong keys by mistake. A larger keyboard is far more forgiving for those of us who are sloppy typists. You might eventually come to terms with the small keyboard, but I don’t see why you should have to when you could own a standalone netbook with a better keyboard for around the same price.
The disappointment continues when you turn your attention to the trackpad. It’s not multi-touch, so you can forget about pinch-to-zoom or two-finger scrolling. Worse yet, it doesn’t even feature horizontal or vertical scroll bars - something that’s standard on even the most basic of netbooks. It’s not like it’s short on space, the trackpad is massive compared to the actual keyboard.
Using the lapdock you’re going to waste a lot of time moving the cursor onto the tiny scroll bars. Dipping into the settings to increase the pointer acceleration makes using the trackpad less painful. I'd still highly recommend consider throwing a small USB mouse with a scroll wheel in your bag, it certainly makes the experience much less frustrating. Thankfully you’re running a full version of Firefox 3.6 so you can install extensions and themes to change the look and feel of the browser, such as making the menus smaller and the scroll bars fatter.
The criticisms of the lapdock might seem harsh but, as a writer, to me a decent keyboard is one of the most important features of a concept like this. I wanted to like the lapdock. I think the concept shows plenty of potential and I’m keen to see how Motorola runs with it. Even so, I just can’t get past the small keyboard - especially as there’s so much unutilised space on the lapdock.
If you won’t be doing a lot of typing, or you’ve got little fingers and are already familiar while small keyboards, then the Atrix/lapdock combo might be your perfect gadget. But if you really don’t care about the keyboard then this probably isn’t the product for you anyway. You should seriously consider putting your money towards a tablet like the Motorola Xoom or perhaps a tweenie such as the 5-inch Dell Streak.
While the keyboard on the Atrix’s lapdock is disappointing, I’m still intrigued by the potential of the phone’s Ubuntu-based webtop features which let you run a full version of Firefox while still accessing the phone’s features. It looks so impressive that you might be prepared to overlook the lapdock’s shortcomings. I’ll take a closer look at webtop on Friday as I wrap up my look at Motorola’s Atrix/lapdock combo.

Why An Extra Power Tool Battery You should need ?
The days extension cable move to long power and for your tools is a thing of the past, thanks to the extension of the lifetime of the rechargeable batteries these days. If you buy a power tool that it mentioned Cordless are probabilities have a power tool battery supply of the device. Of course, as with everything, what's going on a battery, you have finally, to replace it, but for power tools, the battery is usually one that is rechargeable, so that your money is worth to you to get out of the tool.
When it comes to the power tool battery for your tool, the chances that the primary components within the IT nickel and cadmium are - two elements are, which hold the charge to help the battery. These two elements have to be an optimal choice for charging, because the weight of them is less than other options, and it is quite efficient during the loading process.
The nickel-cadmium-tool battery is also a good choice, because they provide a safe environment for 'Loading' conditions a low resistance internally plus there is little change of voltage during discharge of the battery. The two elements are common in a variety of other applications that require the batteries as emergency lighting, telephone and even bigger toys such as remote-controlled aircraft.
Today The power tool batteries usually for several hours continuously, last is the big one for home improvement projects around the House. Many battery devices with a rechargeable tool battery but often you can in the end it should be to run down without using a tool to get stuck and need to be charged again. It is best in one identical extra battery for your tool to invest tool at the time of purchase so that you always have a spare to leave.
The typical power tool battery weighs about a pound, give or take a few grams depending on the type of electric tool is used. For example, DEWALT DC9071 battery, were battery operated drill of the first really big battery tool on the market, but it was not long, circular saws, jigsaws and more started come in Cordless versions.
If you're lucky, your can personal tool to work battery for some of your other tools, although this is unlikely to occur due to the different size and construction of tools. You are the batteries for these battery tools in a variety of different tensions come to find, so it is important, you can select a tool with a high voltage, which translates to more power. In fact most people select a tool, because battery voltage, because more power is always one of the machine tool rather than his other skills good thing.]

Take Caring for your Power Tool battery
Chances are, most of you have at least one or two power tools around your home. They are great for both small and large projects and make many tasks much easier due to their power and portability. However, a power tool without power is really no tool at all and will be of little use to anyone. Yet many power tool batteries lose their power due to improper care and the somewhat costliness of replacement power tool batteries causes a lot of power tools to lie dormant. That being said, here are some useful tips on how to care for power tool batteries to ensure that you're not left scratching your head next time you need to use your power tool.
First off, most power tools batteries are made up of several smaller cells packed inside the battery casing. These cells are predominantly NiCD, meaning that the same rules for all NiCD batteries apply here as well.For examle,48-11-0100 Battery. These batteries have a tendency to develop a memory effect. For more information on this effect, see our article entitled "What should I know about Memory Effect?". In order to ensure that your power tool battery doesn't lose a significant amount of its runtime, it is important to practice smart charging behavior. Power tool batteries should be power cycled (fully discharged and fully charged) at least once every few weeks to guard against the memory effect.
Have you ever stored a car or lawnmower for the winter and tried to start it a few months later only to find that the battery is dead? The same will happen to a batteryif not properly maintained. This is probably the number one killer of power tool batteries today, especially for those that only use their tools for odd and end jobs every now and then. If the battery is not taken from storage and charged/discharged occasionally, it will certainly fail to function when you need it. When you do store power tool batteries, make sure to store them in a dry, cool, clean place away from metal and heat. Never store power tool batteries on the charger, as this will overcharge the battery and also diminish its runtime.
Many people use power tools in some pretty rough places, such as construction sites, mechanic shops, and landscaping areas. This means that power tool batteries often become dirty and should be cleaned to keep them working correctly. To ensure that dirt doesn't interfere with the battery connections and cause the tool not to function normally, clean the battery contacts with some alcohol and cotton swabs.
If you do have a battery that no longer takes a full charge or simply will not function at all, it may be time to consider having the battery rebuilt. The rebuilding process involves opening the battery casing and replacing the smaller individual cells inside with new rechargeable cells.

Do You Know How to Store Power Tool Batteries ?
If you don't know store power tool batteries,they will easy dead.Cordless power tools are convenient for homeowners. There is no need to drag out an extension cord when working on a project that is not near an electrical outlet. Most homeowners use their cordless power tools occasionally as they need them, but most of the time the tools remain idle. Properly storing the tool batteries ensure that the battery is ready for charging when the tool is needed. It's a good idea to store the battery charger near the batteries. This way both will be readily accessible.
Examine the sides of the battery in your tool to find the locking tab or tabs. Press the tabs in with your fingers and either pull the battery straight down or slide it out of the tool.
Clean the battery with a dry cloth to remove dirt. Rub the top of the battery that inserts into the tool with the rag.
Place the battery right-side up on a solid flat surface in an area that will not exceed 122 F or in temperatures below 50 F. The storage area should be away from direct sunlight.

How To Find The Reason of Your Camera Battery Dies Really Fast?
Having high quality and durable batteries are important to the operation of the digital camera. Without rechargeable batteries the digital camera is of no use. You may have faced with awful and extremely frustrating situation in the past owing to battery failure during photo outing. Many of us who are new to digital photography, often think that investing on an extra battery is pointless. Though many high quality rechargeable camera batteries are available in the market than the past, still there are limitation in power handling capability on digital cameras. If one is aware of the camera functions and operation which require more power he'll be able to conserve the battery life during taking photos.
Digital cameras consist of mechanical and electronic parts which require battery energy. Another major energy eater is the LCD screen which is an electronic device that draws large amounts of battery energy. If you need to conserve battery energy, it is important for any one to use the LCD screen more wisely. Another high energy user is the camera flash. Many modern day cameras have built in flashes which gets pop up when ever you take a photograph irrespective of the lighting condition. Therefore, using the flash when it is required instead of all the time will certainly prolong the battery life.
Minimize the use of the LCD screen of the digital camera so that we could cut down the waste of battery energy. The modern digital cameras provide large LCD screen for the user to view the photo taken. The disadvantage is these large LCD screens tend drain your battery very quickly. By switching it off manually and using the view finder, you are certain to use the battery for many photo shots. In other words, use the LCD when ever it is necessary. For example if you need to check the lighting condition or the composition or to view photos which you have already stored.
Do not use the built in camera flash on all photographic situations. Because, you may know, in certain lighting conditions, you do not need to use the flash to get the best photos. Today, you will find many automatic digital cameras with built in flash which operates regardless of the light condition. In other words, the flash will operate automatically when it is not required resulting in unnecessarily draining out your battery.
There are so many automatics on cameras these days, that many things operate when they really aren't needed. Similarly to tip one, your battery life easily be saved by adjusting the flash mode to manual instead of keeping it in the automatic mode. This implies prior planning is necessary before a shoot out. Depending on the situation, you have to decide whether the flash is essential or not. Accordingly set your camera mode to flash or without flash.
The choosing right and quality batteries are an essential step in digital photography. Investing on high quality, reliable branded batteries is a must. This is canon camera battery which canon nb-4l battery is high quality but cheaper.As you know, you may get attracted to cheap duplicate batteries available in the market. These cheap batteries often drain out fast and unreliable resulting in few photos that you could take. What ever you decided to purchase, it is important to keep few spare batteries in you bag always for an emergency. Don't face a situation where you end up with the camera in hand, and missing the special photo moment due to your battery is dead.

Power Tool Comparison Shopping
What features are you looking for in a particular power tool? Don't get caught up in all the features that one has to offer. You may end up paying a great deal more for a power tool that has features you don't intend to ever us. Take a good look at those features though because you may find a few you could really use that you didn't think of. That will definitely make a particular model more appealing to you.
Since most power tools are designed to last a very long time, you want to find out about the availability of replacement parts. You also want to find out about customer support.

Manufacturers who have been in business for a very long time are likely to still be there down the road when you need a replacement part for your power tool.
The quality of a power tool is very important. A good way to compare the quality of a particular type of power tool is to check reviews online from other consumers. These reviews are free to look at and very unbiased. You can also check with magazines that do comparisons such as Consumer Reports. However, you will probably have to pay for a subscription to get this information. Their monthly magazine has features for a variety of products. You can search their archives online to find articles and reviews about power tools.
It is a good idea to purchase a particular model and brand of power tool only after you have physically looked at it and touched it. It is too heavy? Does it seem to flimsy for the job you plan to do with it? How noisy is it? Does it fit properly in your hands? These things are all very important and will affect how compatible the power tool is for you.
Safety should be a top priority on your list when it comes to selecting power tools. What is their safety rating? How many accidents have occurred with a particular model of hand tool? What safety features does the power tool offer you? All power tools on the market have basic safety mechanisms in place, but keep in mind that some only offer the bare minimum as regulated while others go the extra mile to ensure their customers are safe while operating them.
Sometimes walking into a store of power tools is like taking a child into a candy store. However, to get the most from the power tools you purchase, follow these guidelines. Don't be blind sided by the brand name or the design of a particular power tool. Take the time to find out exactly what it has to offer you.

Do You Know The Fastest Camera Batteries ？
Digital camera is more and more used in our lives.To get the most efficiency and speed out of your digital camera, you need a high-powered battery. Though many digital cameras will take low-cost AA or AAA alkaline batteries, they're not recommended for regular or extended use because of their short life span. Digital cameras use a high level of charge to run well, and alkaline batteries will drain in a single shooting session. For optimal performance, use an efficient rechargeable battery with a high power rating, also called the mAH rating.
In some cases, a camera requires a battery pack specially designed for it called a proprietary battery. Proprietary batteries are rechargeable, but keep a spare pack on hand. These special batteries are sometimes expensive, but are usually the most efficient -- and in some cases, the only -- choice for certain cameras. Most proprietary batteries for digital cameras consist of a customized lithium ion.
Lithium batteries are disposable like alkaline batteries, but they have a much higher mAH and more efficiency. A faster, rechargeable type of lithium battery is the lithium ion, or "lion" battery. Lion batteries charge quickly and are significantly more expensive.There are some kinds of canon camera battery:canon nb-4l battery、Canon NB-7L Battery.
Nickel-Metal Hydride, or NiMH batteries, are rechargeable, fast and long-lasting. This type of battery has largely replaced the nickel cadmium rechargeable battery for digital cameras because of its speed and because it has fewer charging issues. NiMH batteries are easier to find and are less expensive than lion batteries, making them a popular choice for many general-use digital cameras.

The way of Rebuilding a Power Tool Battery
Cordless power tools are a great convenience for both the professional and the do-it-yourself homeowner. Unfortunately, the rechargeable battery packs that power these tools usually fail within 18 to 24 months. What many tool owners do not know is that within these battery packs is a simple arrangement of rechargeable size C batteries, which they can rebuild themselves.
Open the battery pack. This is very simply done if the pack has screws that hold the case together. If the pack is a solid, one-piece molded unit, you will need to cut it open.
Attach a chisel tip to the soldering iron, and heat it up. Use the tip to cut an outline along the top of the base of the battery pack. Pull off the top and set it aside. Inside will be a group of C-size rechargeable batteries in a generic cardboard casing. Read the text on them, which will indicate whether the cells are Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cad) or Nickel Metal-Hydride (Ni-Mh).For example ,DEWALT DC9096 Battery,MAKITA 7000 Battery ,MAKITA 9000 Battery, Dewalt DC9071, Dewalt DW9072,Makita 1201 Battery.
Make sure that you purchase the same type of rechargeable battery cells unless you are sure that your charger and tool will operate with the other type. If so, use Ni-Mh batteries -- power tool batteries are superior to Ni-Cad cells in that they do not develop a "memory" when charged to less than full capacity.
Take notes regarding the way the batteries are connected and arranged so that you can put the new cells in the same way. Heat up the connector to each battery in the pack and remove it.
Use a rotary tool with a wire brush attachment to clean off any oxidation on the contacts and connecting wires left in the pack. Refer to your notes and install the new batteries the same way as the previous arrangement. Solder the new connections securely.
Put the top of the battery case back on and fasten the screws, or for the molded pack that has been cut open, use a liberal amount of an epoxy adhesive to glue the pieces back together. Be sure to let the pack charge fully (overnight) before using it for the first time.

How To Extend the Life of Power tool Batteries
Extending the life of power tool batteries is an easy task. It only depends on the type of battery, assuming that they are lithium-ion, or Nickel cadmium. Whether the power equipment in use is a blower, power trimmer, or some other device that may run off of a rechargeable battery, there are a few steps to keep your batteries lasting for a long time. For more specific information on your batteries look both on the actual battery and in the manual for the battery or power tool. Also, keep in mind that rules 1, 3, and 4 apply to non-chargeable batteries as well.
1. Keep the batteries in the environment described on the manual or battery itself. For instance most batteries will have a longer charge and lifespan if you keep them in a dry, room temperature to cool area. Set them on some material that doesn't hold a charge like wood, or plastic, or rubber. the latter works best.
2. Wait till the battery dies completely before recharging. Most batteries have a "memory" and adapt to the way you charge them. If you charge them all the time when they still have 20% to go, you can potentially loose 20% of your batteries full charge.
3. Keep the terminal caps on the batteries when not in use. This keeps the terminals from being exposed to the current in the atmosphere and degrees the amount of life lost from sitting.
4. Don't set the batteries on the ground. The earth can actually pull electricity from your battery and decrease the charge. Metals, and other things of the like, being conductors are also not good things to set a battery on.
5. Charge the battery around every 30 - 45 days if in storage. A certain amount of charge is lost to the atmosphere every day. This rule applies with almost all rechargeable batteries.
6. Refrain from leaving the battery in the actual power tool. Even when the tool is turned off, like most electronics, the fact that there is a complete circuit (may not be complete but capacitors drain power) means that you are still drawing energy from said battery. When the power equipment is in use make sure the terminals are clean and the battery is properly seated.
There are some nice high quality power tool batteries:BOSCH BAT011,BOSCH BAT025,BOSCH BAT026,BOSCH BAT181,BOSCH BAT618,BOSCH BAT240.
Bottom line: If you are doing the above, then you have most likely saved around 30% of your battery life. Taking good care of your power tools and accessories will make your battery life longer. Recharge often if kept in storage. If you are storing your batteries, store them in the appropriate environment. Run battery dead before recharging. Don't leave the battery in the power equipment when not in use. Cover the battery when being stored and store the battery on a neutrally charged object.

When Digital Camera Battery Deaded,What Do you Choice？
For amateur and professional photographers alike, there's nothing more frustrating then when you're about to get a great shot with your digital camera and when you push the shutter and nothing happens. Replacing the battery only takes a couple of minutes and helps insure that you capture your next shot.
Watch the meter. Many digital cameras have a small battery icon that appears on the LCD screen. Keeping an eye on this helps you know when it's time to change the battery.
Examine the batteries. You can do this by either taking the batteries that are already in the camera out, or by looking through the owner's manual to your camera and reading to find out what kind of battery your camera requires. Some cameras take common battery types, like AAA or AA, and others take model specific lithium-ion batteries.For example Canon NB-4L Battery,Canon NB-5H Battery,Canon NB-6L Battery,Canon NB-7L Battery,Canon NB-8L Battery,Canon LP-E8 Battery.
Make a trip to the store. Check out the electronics department for less common battery types. More common types should be available almost anywhere: drug stores, discount stores and convenience stores.
Turn off your camera and replace the battery. Many cameras have a sticker on the inside with a diagram that shows you which way to put the batteries in.
Close the battery compartment and turn your camera back on.

What do You Choice about Camera Batteries
Buying a camera is like buying a memory box, with the ability to capture the moments that you want to whenever you want. There are many different types of cameras out there in the market, and with technology, cameras are becoming smaller and smaller, as well as more powerful. With multi mega pixel solutions all over the market, you have a literal studio in the palm of your hands, but the only problem with this is the battery life. Previously, in older models, you had the option of putting in AA batteries into the camera to power it, and this already presented many a problem for many users all over the world.
First and foremost was the rising cost of the batteries such as sony UP-68 battery, Canon NB-7L Battery , Casio NP-20 Battery,Panasonic DMW-BCE10 Battery,because they only lasted for a few hundred shots, which meant that if you are a heavy user of the camera, you would only have the use of it for a those X amount of shots, which then you have to replace it. This can be an expensive solution as batteries are not particularly cheap and you can easily spend more than $100 a month when it comes to buying batteries for your camera. This also presented a problem on the portability of the camera. Either way you were in a situation where it could be uncomfortable and slightly problematic.
Finding a battery source can be quite difficult and shops are not available all the time, especially if you are travelling, so this might leave you with a dead camera and no way to take the pictures that you want. On the other hand, if you had come prepared and was armed with a load of batteries to ensure that your camera is always working, then you would be stuck with a heavy load, not what you saw when you first bought the camera in the first place. Rechargeable AA batteries are quite the same, their longevity depended on a power source and they can be quite clunky, which limited the not so slim design of the camera. So enter the lithium designed rechargeable battery, which can be recognised now but its slim rectangular design and its white finish.
With this battery, the long life of the camera can be maintained, because it gives out a high voltage and lasts really long on low drain devices like the camera. Sony has entered the market and given us its own take on the camera battery - with slim solutions to ensure that we are never left wanting when that perfect moment comes along and suddenly the world freezes, just begging for the snapshot of the camera. They have a whole wide range of these batteries an basing on consumer reviews all over the internet, we can see why the Sony camera batteries are so popular. They are reliable, effective and come with an extensive warranty plan. If you had a choice, you should choose camera batteries, because your camera, your time and your memories deserve nothing less.
