Hi Paul, At least with this set, I'm going to run 'em until the camera craps out or starts to behave in a strange manner. At least that way I'll have a better idea of what to expect, and since I'm going to be around the house for the next couple of days, there won't be an important pix made, plus a spare set of bats is handy. Seems like a perfect time to experiment and learn the limitations of the camera. Thus far, since the 1/2 full indication was observed, the camera has made 20 good shots.
If I were going out with some serious shooting in mind, replacing them now would make sense, but then I'd put the old bats back into the camera just to test the limits.
