I got the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H300. I didn't see any battery charge pack in it, only the batteries.

Please I want to know if I'm required to charge the batteries or only replace them when they discharge

This uses AA batteries. I’m sure you could use rechargeable batteries as well but I just replace them

My battery door won't open. It was working until now. Any suggestions?

For any one with this issue it might mean you batteries might have leaked and you can check if there is any white colored residue at the unlock button if , as with my camera i saw some residue, after using something that will not leave marks to push it to unlock position and try to force it a bit to the side the cover, just enough to push something in the edge of cover and housing on the underside near edge of battery cover hinge , to push out the cover a bit more to the side so it slides out to open it and then lift up , just have to clean out the residue of leaked battery of everything in special metal battery contacts on the battery cover , i am trying to find out if there are any replacement parts to replace the metal battery contacts, as i haven`t seen anything yet here

Does Sony make rechargeable battery packs for this camera?

Maybe you guys are doing it the wrong way! I was trying to open it from the side. I finally opened it from the part next to the hole and it opened immediately. 😭😭
