AA battery life
Just a bit of a rant. :( I have an SLR camera that I use a lot, mostly for documenting restoration of 2 cars I've been working on for a while. I use ordinary AA batteries and not rechargeable one...

redracer,
The AA li have to have a voltage dropping resistor. I'm not at all happy with them.
The nominal voltage of lithium-ion is 3.60V/cell.
There are rechargeable AA and AAA cells which have a buck converter built into each cell.
A dropping resistor will not work. Half of the energy would be wasted in heat and you would get huge voltage swings depending on the amount of current drawn.
