There is a lot of battery information at 'batterydata.com'.

too bad that it's neither objective nor accurate. that site is
extremely biased in favour of lithium batteries. for instance, he
claims that devices with lithium ion batteries are more reliable
because the battery doors break on devices that use aa batteries. that
has *nothing* to do with the battery and everything to do with the
battery door itself. there are a number of devices with lithium
batteries with crappy doors that prematurely fail.

or his claim that aa batteries are only found on low end products. the
nikon d300 battery grip can take aa batteries. apparently, that's low
end.
