Rechargable Lithium vs Rechargable NiMH batteries - just curious

Greetings! Does the lithium rechargable batteries lasts longer than
rechargable NiMh batteries? With thanks.

Yes, however, they cost more to buy.

The time length of use is very depended on the ampere-hour rating of the
particular battery. The advantage of the Lithium batteries is that there are
no memory problems with them. As for their long term lifespan, after about 2
to 3 years, and depending on the amount of charge cycles, they will start to
degrade in their ability to supply power. Most modern batteries can handle
about 600 to 1000 charge cycles over a 2 to 3 year period. After this, they
may start to degrade in their ability to maintain proper charge, and supply
their rated amount of amp-hours.

Neither do NiMh's - at least none that has yet been noticed.

For city shots there probably is not a great difference.

However, for excursions to places where power supplies may be less
predictable AA's have the edge IMHO
