Digital Camera Question - Will my rechargable batteries recharge while it is inside my digital camera and the digital camera is plugged?

Will my rechargable batteries recharge while it is inside my digital camera and the digital camera is plugged into my computer?


They are regular AA batteries and I have a Canon digital camera. I'm on vacation and want to know if the rechargable batteries that are in the camera will recharge while I plug it in to my computer and turn it on? I don't have a multimeter or anything.

Best Answer: Check the owner manual or the Canon site!

- No they won't. Cameras only use power through the battery leads, they don't send power to the batteries. The reason for this is that rechargeable batteries will explode if they are over charged. A battery charger stops charging the batteries when they are fully charged.

- refer to your instruction manual... most of the time it doesn't work that way because,the usb and regular home power outlet voltages differ.

- No
