Noob battery question

[cetro22]

Does Depth Effect battery life? I am currently using a Power Shot SD 600 and my batteries have dead by the time I get to depth? I have charged them prior to diving?

thanks for your advice and or link to previous threads!

Since your camera and batteries are in an enclosed rigid case (assumption), the pressure should not change unless you get a leak.
Your battery may be at the end of it's life.
Do they work OK on land?

Depth doesn't affect battery life, but temperature does. In a recent dive trip to Alaska, several people complained that in the cold water the battery life was dramatically shortened, although the Li ion batteries in my 5D, I didn't have any problem recharging them once a day. The same was true of the NiMH batteries in my strobes and focus light.
