Battery Question - HELP!

[hello1234]

Hi everyone



I have a Sony WX10 digital camera. The Sony battery that it comes with is a 3.6 volt battery. I have a generic replacement battery that is meant for this camera but I have noticed that the replacement battery is a 3.7 volt battery. Would this be OK to use in my camera if it is 0.1 of a volt higher than the original Sony battery? I have heard if you use batteries with a higher voltage that it can cause damage to the camera? Would 0.1 of a volt higher be dangerous? Do you think this matters if I use a 3.7 volt battery instead of a 3.6 volt battery? Or should it be strictly 3.6 volt batteries only that are used? If I do use the 3.7 volt generic replacement battery, would there be any risk to the camera?


Thank you

Personally I would think that is a safe difference. Most batteries are probably +/- 0.1 volts from their nominal ratings.
