The Energizer bunny does its thing, and then some.

Now, you digital camera techno-heads out there probably already know this, but us regular Joe-schmoe users (like me!) are just finding out: The new Energizer e2 Lithium batteries are unbelievable!

A single pair of these power-packed AAs in my Nikon Coolpix 5600 lasted through my entire 14-day hike overseas, churning out energy enough for 1,125 5-megapixel hi-res digital images and a handful of movies.

In fact, they only gave up the ghost yesterday, just as I finished uploading the last of the hike photos onto my laptop.

That's pretty amazing performance, wouldn't you say?! Significantly better than the NiMH rechargables and miles ahead of regular alkalines.

And to think I packed along an 8-pack (about $16) of them not knowing I wouldn't need but a single set.

Wow!

At this rate I'm figuring the remaining six lithium batteries I have will last through an entire summer of outdoor fun and adventures. I'm gonna give it a go and let you know.

You go bunny!

The screen uses up battery life. I tend to turn off the screen and use the old fashioned peep when I want to extend battery life. I try to only fire up the screen once a day to review unless I am too excited to see how some images turned out.

Can't wait too see the slide show. Will you be drinking beer in any of the pictures??? How many beers does it take to walk around Corsica anyway?
