Which early Canon digicams used a 2CR5 lithium battery?

The museum names a 2CR5 lithium battery for 6 early models, among them the PowerShot A5 (1998).

Why do some cameras list two battery codes?

On the museum pages of 15 cameras the power line names two codes: NB-1L and NB-1LH (6 cameras); BP-511 and BP-512 (5 cameras); NB-2L and NB-2LH (3 cameras); BP-511 and BP-511A (1 camera). We repeat what Canon lists and do not say whether the two are interchangeable, because the pages do not.

What does this page not tell you?

• 58 cameras have no power-source line on their museum page (51 of them from 2013 or later) and are marked "Not stated".
• The museum lists the camera's own battery. It does not say which third-party batteries or chargers fit, and we do not either.
• A code in the table is the code in Canon's text. We have not checked battery sizes, voltages or capacities, so none are given.

How this list was made, and what it does not say

The list is Canon's own Camera Museum list of digital compact cameras, 240 models from 1995 to 2025.¹ We read each model's museum page and keep only what the page states: the model names, the "Marketed" date, the sensor type and the power source. Each row links to its museum page. On 2026-10-19 we also re-fetched 20 random museum pages live and 20 of 20 gave the same sensor, battery and date values as our stored copy.

• The museum list covers PowerShot, ELPH, IXUS and IXY compacts. It does not cover Canon's EOS or PowerShot-less cameras, and it is Canon's selection: a camera missing from it is not proof that Canon never sold it.
• Each museum page gives one "Marketed" date. We found no per-region dates on the pages, except notes such as "launched only in Japan".
• Names: the museum gives up to three names per camera, Japan, the Americas and Europe/Asia/Oceania. Our "also sold as" column is those other names.

We do not copy Canon's descriptions or photos; the numbers and names are facts, each linked to its source.
