They are also long lasting and can be used for a wide variety of shots. CR123A batteries can also be found in other devices, such as flashlights and smoke detectors.

CR2 Battery

The CR2 batteries are used in the newer models of Canon EOS cameras. These batteries are also lithium batteries and offer a higher capacity than traditional alkaline batteries. They are long lasting and can be used for a wide variety of shots. CR2 batteries are also found in other devices, such as lasers and alarms.

AA batteries are another option for powering some older models of Canon EOS cameras. These batteries are generally less expensive than lithium batteries, but offer lower capacity. They are available in many stores and online stores and can be a quick and convenient option when dedicated batteries are not on hand.

It is important to note that not all Canon EOS models are compatible with all battery types. Before purchasing batteries, be sure to consult the camera’s user manual to ensure that the correct batteries are being used.
