I'm a big fan of the Energiser Lithiums, my K-m came with a set that lasted for roughly 800 shots or six months. I've since replaced like with like and keep four spares handy.
However, I doubt they'll still be working in 2035!

Strangely enough I have just disposed of the batteries from my 1987 Philips CD player!

Well, beat this.
The remote control for one of my CD player was fitted with the Philips supplied R03P (AAA) cells in 1984/5 and are marked as 480mAh and date stamped 84-12.
They are still working. That is 225000 hours and even if the control had not been used and they were now flat is 2 uA (micro amps).
Off load they measure (4 in series) 6.06V which drops to a constant 5.6 when loaded and remains at that for 2 minutes - I could have held on for longer, but was satisfied. They immediately recovered to the 6.06V which suggests that there is still significant charge in them.
I think I am satisfied with them!
