For those of you who are getting ready for a long holiday, don't forget this one... Yep! You could say that a spare battery isn't important, but it's also important... Let's see how to choose a spare battery for your camera!
1. Buy from a service center and sell spare parts of the same brand
Buying at a service center or original spare parts shop may feel more expensive than at other shops that sell various brands. But the quality and authenticity of the items you get are also more guaranteed. Apart from that, you can also get a guarantee from each brand.
2. Look at the battery condition
If you buy directly, you get the advantage of being able to see the condition of the goods directly. Don't buy used batteries or batteries that are in poor condition. If the battery swells, it is a sign that the battery is in bad condition. Apart from that, you can also see prints on the surface of the battery, if the writing is blurry, it could be a used battery.
3. Bring the camera when buying batteries
This is sometimes overlooked. You should bring your camera to try out the battery you are going to buy. Especially if you buy another brand that is different from your camera, because not all spare batteries are compatible, especially less popular brands. There's no harm in trying it directly on your camera.
