I have a D and with NiHMs the behavior is quite stable, the camera works
perfectly until the voltage falls low enough then it simply shuts down.
The only time I've had it become wonky was in extreme cold conditions,
then it behaved very strangely and then shut down, the batteries were
far from exhausted after they warmed up.

Sounds like the D's behavior under low-voltage is quite different
from the DS. All I can tell you is that I've had no problems at all,
taking exposures right up to the point where the camera literally
shuts down from lack of power.

I've found that I sometimes will get 200 exposures from "half full"
lithiums. But not always. In nearly two years with the *istD, I've
learned that the camera can go wonkers at any time once the battery
indicator drops to the half full point. Admittedly, serious problems
are rare, but they happen any time voltage is a bit down. I rarely
find myself shooting anything that I don't want or need, so I'm not
going to risk failure, even for an extra 200 exposure. I now use AA
lithiums rather than the CRV3, since I've found the performance
virtually identical. Nearly expended batteries are used to power
toys, radios, or sometimes even a flash unit.
