I've got an Olympus DigiCam that I use very rarely. Been using the Energizer 2500maH AA batts for about 18 months, they started out holding charge quite well but now they are lucky to last 48 hrs before discharging (this is without even turning the camera on!)

Anyway was wondering what you peeps are using?

I buy a 14 pack of Duracell about once every year. That tales care of both cameras, the remotes and the card shuffler :)

Is that the Duracell Rechrgeables?

No, just standard ones. Sorry, should have said so.

Fortunately my new Fujifilm FinePix F480 uses a lithium-ion battery :D

I had the same thing with my few yr old CyberShot. Batteries would charge then by the time u want to use the damn thing theyre flatter than kiera knightley's chest!

I use some powerbase 2500mah rechargables in my little digicam they last for months at the rate I use the camera (hardly at all) I have some DSE brand rechargables and they don't even last a day in my flash without even using it so stay the hell away from them.

Rechargeable batteries slowly lose their charge over time when the device isn't in use.
