Re: AA lithium battery life

Paul,

I'm getting about 1000 exposures on a pair of CRV3s,
with very little flash use and very little chimping. 
Since AAs have less capacity than CRV3s, and since
most people chimp more than I do, 2100 exposure for 3
pairs of AAs seems about right.

$1 apiece is a great price.  Let me know if it's still
that low--I'll switch to lithiums for everything!

AA lithium battery life

2006-07-30 Thread Paul Stenquist
I find that myAA  lithiums last long enough in the *istD that I can't  
remember how old they are. So last time I changed them, I recorded  
the frame count for each camera. That was in February. Today, one  
camera indicated that the batteries were almost gone. They lasted  
2100 frames. That's with the battery grip. I'm very pleased with that  
much battery life. I believe I'm paying just over a buck each for the  
batteries now when I buy them in quantities of 16 or more from  
Battery Central. I'm not sure about that price, but I'll be buying  
another 16 this week, so if anyone cares, I'll let you know.
