Joyce - Yes, you can use regular AA batteries and they will last a comparatively long time. If you are new to the A1300 I think you will really enjoy it...it's a good value for the price. Ron

Hi Joyce,According to the Canon Powershot A1300 website, AA batteries are the ones required for that particular camera.Jack

Hi Joyce ! Yes. Absolutely. You can use any brand of AA batteries for the A1300. I Always use rechargeable AA batteries. When they run down I just put them back in the charger and I'm good to go. I always take extra rechargeables wherever I go.

Yes, but regular AAs don't last very long in a camera if you use a lot of flash. Get some Energizer lithium AAs and you will be good to go. You can get a pack of 8 for around $14. Rechargables are great but you would have to have the right charger (voltage wise). With lithiums you won't have to deal with recharging in a foreign country and they last longer than regular.

Use AA batteries × 2. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Have a great day!!

if you can get an adapter to switch to European Volts you can try. I would not do it. Rather take a notebook with me that can be operated with only batteries.

Regular or rechargeable batteries work in these. Nothing special is needed. If they aren't working, they're probably defective. That happened with one of mine, as well.

You can use rechargeable AA batteries. However because of their limited capacity compared to the Lithium batteries that ship with it you may not be as many or even a complete recharge of you device using rechargeables.

Yes. I think that is the only kind you can use. I tried regular batteries (non-lithium) and it would not work.

Just regular AA but you could buy lithium or rechargeable batteries as long as you have a charger for them.

No, Daniel. You can use regular batteries. I use rechargeable batteries to have plenty on hand and I've found they last about five times longer than regular disposable batteries.

Yes it does take regular AA batteries.. which I feel personally is a great option when you are on an outing..just buy a bundle of batteries and forget about the battery coming down.. you always have stock with you!...the normal one the square batteries which you need to re-charge it always is not a good one when you are in a place where there are no plug-ins!..Overall for the money we spend.. it is a great stuff..

That's an interesting question. As reported in my original report on this product, the unit I received was non-operational. If I were travelling, thanks to your question, I would think about using electronic devices with external power packs to recharge batteries. (th)

NO !!! You need the 18650 batteries. The regular AA batteries won't work, they are too small lengthwise and will not work.

Just looking online and I think if you use the two-pronged plug in India so you shouldn't need to get any extra plugs etc. But just check and see. I am using the double A batteries and they work just as well.

I used AA battery in each of the three that I bought. All worked. Check the polarity. Positive in first. If that is correct, then I think you got a bad one.

Yes, You can use AA batteries but make sure they are lithieum or they will not last long. The re-charge batteries are the best.

Ginkgo, I know what you re talking about regarding AA batteries. You can find them everywhere. I bought a ZS1 to take to the Philippines rencently. The rechargeable battery is smaller than two AAs. The charger is a bit smaller than half a pack of cancer sticks, and will handle 110-220 volts although you may need an adapter. Charger and adapter are smaller than half a pack and weigh less than two AAs. Both my wife and I took our cameras and chargers. Weight and size are no problem for us one-bag travellers. Monte L.

They use a common battery, (I believe it was a AAA). They are in my travel bag ready for my next trip.
