Lithium batteries

Does anyone know the effective mAh of the lithium batteries supplied with my K-m? I have been using them since February this year and they are still going strong but I do not use flash so that helps!

Pretty sure they are 2900mAh, started using them myself now

Been getting them from Superdrug for £6.85 for 4+2 free. Shelf life of 15 years, so I pick up a pack every now and then.

mAh figures tend to be unreliable, and manufacturers rarely publish them for non-rechargeable AA batteries.

I would assume Energizer Lithium AA in your camera will last at least as long as the best rechargeable NiMH cells - while having the advantages of lower weight and slower self-discharge rate.

Stick with the Energizer lithium, they just seam to last for ever, even when you use the flash, I bought a few packs thinking they would not last as long as they do, thank goodness they have a long shelf life!

OK, thanks all! Anyone want to buy two packs of unused Eneloops? Off to Tenerife tomorrow so will have a look to see how much lithium are down there

Have a nice holiday, I bet more expensive with the pound/euro exchange.
I got mine from 7dayshop.com, 4+2 and have enough to last me for a few years!
I am down to one camera now just the K20.
Just waiting to see what the "New" Pentax will be

Thanks for the holiday wishes! We got €1.0955 to the pound cash the other day so could be worse

It'll be our fifth trip to TFS but a first for my K-m and our hotel is well away from the popular areas, right up the west coast where the sun always shines and it's nice and quiet Tenerife has a lot to offer if you know where to look; and we do!

With cameras, I am a bit of a hoarder and am reluctant to part with my collection although I rarely use any of the others in my sig
