The manufacturer code on the old battery or in the camera manual — EN-EL15B, BLH-1, NP-F980D or VW-VBD78 — is the only reliable guide; the camera name is no help here. The range covers compact batteries of around 2250 mAh for stills cameras and GoPro, as well as 7800–13200 mAh V-Mount and Golden Mount packs for video gear and lights. Capacity also determines weight, so for a handheld camera the largest is not always the best.
