Stop carrying around boxes of AA batteries! This Non-rechargeable lithium battery pack lasts up to 2.75 times longer than AA lithium batteries and 20 to 30 times longer than AA alkaline batteries. Use one LB-01 battery for every two AA alkaline batteries
1 Battery review Comment
The reviews are worthless unless the writer mentions the model of device they are using the batteries for. Fifty percent of the reviews here don't mention what they were using the batteries for. Do this service justice and mention the type and model equipment for which the battereis are utilized.
2 Great if you can find it at a super cheap price
If you're going to pay the regular price for this battery, save your money and get rechargables instead. The battery doesn't last nearly as long as it should. The Energizer batteries I bought for it lasted much longer.
3 Note this is 2 pack
Just wanted to note that you need two batteries for most cameras, and this is a pack of two. Don't buy this twice, like I just did!
These batteries have lasted a very long time. Take care not to run the display on the back of the camera all the time, and you should be able to take many hundreds of pictures on one set.
4 E10 and E20 will eat these like candy
Maybe some of the lesser cameras in the olympus line drain these at an acceptable rate, but the power intensive E10 and E20 will tear through them in a few sittings, worse if you use the flash (less than 100 pictures). While you won't change batteries as much as with alkalines which will last you maybe 10 pictures with the flash, these cost proportionally more, and you will soon find all your friends buying stock in battery companies. Do yourself and the environment a favor and buy a good set of rechargeable NiMH batteries and a charger. While these lithium batteries may have lasted twice as long as the early NiMH batteries, that is no longer the case as NiMH batteries have improved by about 30% in the last two years. It costs pennies to recharge the NiMH batteries and they do not have memory, so they will last for years.
5 Better than Everything else
Did the alkaline, ran through batteries like no tomorrow! Tried the rechargeables, they run out of juice over three or four recharges. Bought the Olympus C740 with these babies in them and used it for over 400 pictures, plus review/preview and deletions for FOUR MONTHS. Took the camera on a six day cruise and took over 200 pictures with no problem.
They are expensive (so four stars instead of 5)but after you mistakenly throw out your first set of rechargeable batteries, or find that they (eventually) have no more power than standard alkalines, you will regret not having spent the money on the Lithium technology.
6 Not worth it
This may be something for the casual photographer, but for someone who needs to use their camera on a regular basis I don't recommend these batteries. First, you need TWO for the Olympus c740...which is roughly $26 at a time. I volunteer for a local football organization that has 3 squads and on game day I take pictures for approximately 6 hours straight. I don't use flash at all, just point and shoot. These batteries lasted for a little over 200 pictures and 9 hours of shooting time before giving out. This means that I would have to replace these batteries for each game day and that is ridiculous. I certainly didn't get over 1000 pics like the previous reviews! I have since purchased 8 of the Monster rechargeable Nihm batteries with the charger and I make it through game day just fine. The total cost was $60 but it will last me all season and more....better value in the long run.
7 Excellent Value!
I received an Olympus C-720 digital camera for Christmas and it came with these batteries. Since December, I have taken close to a thousand pictures-- including alot of zooming and unzooming and focussing, etc. This included an 8 day trip to Disney World in January. The batteries finally died on June 10.
I replaced the batteries with 4 "normal" AA batteries and they have already died-- after a couple dozen pictures.
When I started looking for the CR-V3 type batteries, I expected them to be very expensive. Given the longevity, I find under $13 per battery to be very reasonable.
8 Best Value!
The CR-V3 batteries are without a doubt the best digital camera batteries ever produced! I have taken over 1,000 pictures and they just recently died. These are a great value! Why go through packs of AA batteries when you buy these two and they last for so long. Trust me, you will NOT regret buying these!!!
9 Great batteries!
I wasn't sure what to expect when using these batteries. I had received the Olympus C-720 Ultra Zoom digital camera as a gift and it came with these disposable batteries. I had heard that the digital cameras eat batteries for lunch and didn't expect too much. My wife had purchased an accessory pack that came with NiMH rechargeables, so I had them all ready to go before we left on vacation. After 9 days of vacation, I was shocked that these disposable lithium batteries were still working fine. I filled up my entire 128MB SmartMedia card and had often reviewed many of the pictures in the evening on the camera's screen. Many more shots were taken than the 200+ that fit on the card. Some I had erased after looking at the shot and took it over. On the last day of vacation, the batteries finally died and I was forced to put in the NiMH. I felt that I truly got my money's worth out of the disposables...
