Personal boycot of Lithium Ion batteries
The Lio-ion in my Dell notebook (only 2 years old) now only runs it for
10-15 minutes. About $200 to get a new one. The Sony Cybershot camera at work, the Info lithium battery I get low battery warning after recharging $50 to replace. My Fuji 6800, the Lithium was no good after three years. I've tried some off brands for less $$, but they don't seem hold the charge as the OEM. The $35 I bought as a spare form my 6800 never was that great and it quit running the camera after 1 year. They are expensive and have a short life span. From this point on, I'm going with cameras that will take AA, or have the AA option in the vertical hand grip (DSLRs). With AA's I can carry a couple spares without the cost of the second lithium. And in a pinch, I can go buy Alkalines just about anywhere. I can get 150 shots from alkalines PS camera or 300+ with Ni-Mh. Well that's my rant. Perhaps Lithium longevity will improve. Don't the hybrid cars use lithium batteries? Can't imagine the cost of replacing that thing in three years! -S |
