Lithium-Ion
A popular variety of rechargeable battery that retains the ability to charge fully after extended use and can be charged at any time (doesn't have to be fully discharged).
Lithium-ion (LI-ion): A long-lasting rechargeable battery used in some digicams.
Macro: The ability of a lens to focus just inches away from an object or subject so as to produce big close-ups, sometimes even larger-than-life size.
Lithium-ion batteries - A popular, long-lasting, rechargeable battery technology often used in digital cameras; lithium is the lightest metal and features the highest electromechanical potential.
Lithium ion - long lasting power, small and recharge quickly (but more expensive and they are camera specific!)
Nickel Hydride - cheaper and these come in common sizes (AA for example), so you can use them with other toys.
Lithium-Ion batteries allow greater recording time than NiMh batteries. Not only will Lithium-Ion batteries hold a longer charge, they also have a longer shelf life, generally 5-7 years.
Lithium battery
An accumulator type battery with a high energy density making it ideal for mobile phones, still and video cameras. Generally, the lithium battery is the main battery and the lithium ion battery is a secondary, rechargeable battery.
Lithium AA (FR6) cells.
Pros: Lithium cells built to an AA shape. They store a lot of power, have long shelf lives, and recharge the flash at roughly the same rate as alkalines.

Lion. Lithium ion battery.
Long-focal-length lens (telephoto lens). A lens that provides a narrow angle of view of a scene, including less of a scene than a lens of normal focal length and therefore magnifying objects in the image.
LiOn. Lithium ion battery.
Long focal length lens. Lens with focal length longer than considered ‘normal' for picture format. Gives larger detail and narrower angle of view. Almost all such lenses are telephoto types.

(Lithium ION). Some digicams are packaged with a lithium-ion re-chargeable battery pack. Lithium ION batteries are lighter but are more costly than Ni-MH or Ni-Cd (NiCad) rechargeables.
Do not confuse the Lithium batteries mentioned above with the rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries. Another choice would be to use rechargeable NiMhs or NiCds in high drain applications such as digicams.
This is less of a problem with lithium, but can be a major problem with other battery types.
Dress in layers and try to avoid cotton.
Most digital cameras are powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
Some cameras work with AA size batteries, others come with a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery and adapter to charge it. Both systems have their merrits.
Many cameras today require that you use special rechargeable Lithium Ion (Liion) batteries (sometimes called battery packs) but if your camera accepts AA batteries, you need rechargeable batteries and a battery charger.
Li-Ion - Stands for 'Lithium-Ion'. At the time of writing this, it is the latest kind of rechargeable battery, superior to Ni-MH.
Most of these new cameras have lithium or alkaline batteries. The lithium batteries can take one to two hours to bring up to a full charge.
Lithium ion batteries also hold their capacity fairly well. NiCad _ an abbreviation for nickel cadmium _ are more temperamental, creating a "memory effect" if not charged properly.
Most newer HP digital cameras use a rechargeable custom factory Lithium-Ion battery. These have the longest life. For older HP models that require traditional AA batteries, Lithium-Ion and Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries are recommended.
However, the 150 hours is a conservative figure and can be increased approximately fourfold (to 600 hours) by using two lithium AAs instead of alkaline batteries.
S10 uses a rechargeable, nickel-hydride NB-5H battery pack or a 2CR5 lithium battery.

Batteries specific to digital cameras are rechargeable lithium-ion or nickel-metal hydride batteries. The battery life of this variety tends to be much longer than that of AA batteries.
And while the Lumix requires a lithium ion battery to run, the Easyshare is easy to pop in some AA batteries into and head out.
Lithium batteries are a good choice as they are better at holding a charge than the older chemical compositions to begin with. You can also keep the spare batteries in your coat pocket or other relatively warm spot.
Sure, they're boring hunks of gray plastic, but lithium-ion batteries (as well as AA cells) are probably the most critical part of your power-slurping digital camera. Without these batteries, the picture-taking fun comes to a screeching halt.
Good advice but it is maybe useful to search for a digital camera with lithium batteries. These last longer.

5" LCD screen and uses a proprietary lithium battery. This auto focus camera has a 5.4 megapixel resolution with a 3x optical zoom, a 4x digital zoom, and produces crisp quality images in compressed JPG and video format.
The purchase of batteries can be a significant running cost for some cameras, especially those that use non-standard lithium cells. Some cameras can use rechargeable NiCad cells in addition to normal zinc-carbon or manganese alkaline cells.
The unit features integration with Flickr, Google Maps, SmugMug and software capable of writing GPS data into the metadata. The PhotoTrackr is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and weighs 2.4 ounces. Estimated Street Price: $100.
They provide much better grips and accept AA batteries which are readily available and cheaper than CR2 or 123A lithium batteries.
Swiss army knife: Great for camping but better for repairing camera and lenses.
Lithium Ion rechargeable batteries are not as sensitive to cold weather as others are, but even those will weaken. Always keep some spare batteries with you and keep them warm. I usually carry them in my inside pockets of my jackets.
