That's the problem, it was turned off. I put the batteries in just before Irene hit and picked up the camera today. batteries were flat lined. This is the third time something similar happened.

My ist*Ds was always decent in terms of battery life.
One spare set of lithiums is all I ever carried.
How about when you turn the camera off?

Yes I know the Ds is hopelessly outdated, but I've been using it as my
backup/carry anywhere camera, and until recently it was serving admirably.
  Now however it's acquired a new annoying behavior, to wit, after loading a
new set of lithium batteries it will totally drain them, in less than a
week, even when turned off.  Now my *ist D has always been a battery hog,
but the Ds now even seems to beat that.  I have now idea what might be wrong
but I was wondering if anyone else had a clue.  Needless to say it's not
worth getting it repaired, a good used one from KEH is going for less than
the repair bill would be.
