Before the advent of rechargeable lithium batteries, we all had to make do with alkaline AA batteries that would die out fast when used with digital devices. I remember these would power my first digital camera for only 24 to 30 shots! The rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries were a bit better (40-70 shots) but still wouldn't live up to the task. When Energizer finally came up with the Ultimate Lithium Double A batteries a few years ago, I was very happy--600 shots! What a feat that was then. It now seems however, that cameras have been replaced by smart phones, and the age of the Double A batteries are over. Now that my Canon Powershot camera finally broke down (after taking thousands of photos), I must finally say goodbye to the Lithium Double A batteries that have served me well; I'll probably use them to power the wall clocks for the next decade!
