Here is a very short and simple tutorial for u guys.

Most of u have must have faced the problem when ur cam jus refuses to start up on ordinary AA batts or givces very low batt life even when powered with high power rechargeable batts!! I a using a canon powershot and faced the same problem last week. So i googled around a lot and found a simple solution!

Guess what? Just try cleaning ur battery's terminals and ur camera's battery terminals with a cotton swab and voila, ull find that ur cam has amazing batt life!!

So the next time u r going on a tur, dont forget to pack in a couple of cotton buds!!

Note: I tested this on my canon powershot (which works on 2*AA batts) and found that it really works. dont know about built-in batteries though.

Thanks for reading!!
