I have a Kodak C340 Easyshare that uses 2 AA batteries. Each pair of new batteries will get me 15-20 pictures at 5 megapixel. I have tried every brand and it does not matter, they just don't last. OK folks, get the Energizer 2500Mah rechargables. http://i.walmart.com/i/p/00/03/98/00/06/0003980006594_500X500.jpg I am getting at least 200 pics per pair of these batteries. 4 batteries and charger run about $18 at Wally World, and they will pay for them selves real fast. And no, I do not have any affiliation with Eveready or Wally World, just trying to help.

yea, they seem to eat them up pretty fast. what i thought about doing was making a couple connectors and attaching to a motherboard battery(2032 lithium} they are the 3V, the same as 2 AA batteries. if the battery will slide
in the cameras battery compartment, wouldnt that possibly be even better than the rechargeables? though these lithium batteries have a long life in watches and on computer motherboards, not sure how fast they would be drained in a digital camera, but im still going to try it someday...

I have the Energizer model with 2 front & 2 back, stores & charges 4 AA batteries.
have had it for over a year, & love it. Looks like this is a newer model with
the charging batteries all at the front..

I have been swapping my batteries at around 200 pics just to make sure I don't get caught short.

Will it Recharge any rechargeable AA's or only those marked as 15 Minute?

I don't remember Bruce, the batteries that came with it doesn't say there 15 minutes rechargeable. I have no idea where the papers are that came with it. Sorry
