[AT] Digital camera batteries

[pga2 at hot1.net]

Cecil,
It must be your battery. I have a Stylus 300 and the battery
stays up for at least two months sitting on the shelf.

change my rechargableable  NiMH batteries maybe once a month.  (this varies
with how much current your camera draws.  Mine is pretty stingy).   I keep 2
extra sets of batteries in the camera bag all the time.   You are right about
NiMH  leaking down but it has never been a problem for me.

	My Olympus Stylus 400 came with a lithium ion battery and it
goes down on it's own if left over 10 days or so. It's the first battery
I ever had in a camera that did this. I wondered if it was the type
battery, or if the camera had some sort of minor amperage draw, or if
the battery was defective.

	The battery in my Sony Mavica is also a lithium ion and stays
charged for months.

	Still wondering......
