what batteries? Can anyone comment on this?

Most of the time when we say 'Lithium battery', we mean the Lithium-ion rechargeable battery. It has a terminal voltage of around 3.6 Volts, whereas ordinary Alkaline AA cell has a terminal voltage of only 1.5V. So obviously if you put a Li-ion battery in equipment which expects alkaline cell, its higher voltage will burn out the electronic circuit. However, there is also a type of Lithium cell with terminal voltage of only 1.5V. For example, the Energizer L91 AA cell. You can use this type of Lithium cell in your Canon S5 without any problems. In digital camera applications, the L91 can easily provide 4-5 times longer operation compared to alkaine cells. It also weights only half as much as ordinary alkaline or NiMH cells. The main disadvantage of L91 cell is its price, which is 3-4 times higher than ordinary alkaline cell, or similar to NiMH rechargeable cells. If I'm going for a long mountain climbing trip, then L91 is the way to go. For all other situations, I recommend low-self-discharge NiMH cells.

Robert R.: What did you "figure out" that required "no further comments"?! This is so frustrating trying to figure out which Sony batteries to order. Exactly which battery did you get to fit securely and is the "included battery adaptor" that "wimberleynerd" mentions needed? If so I didn't get one. Please explain. Thanks. SM

I'm sorry we haven't used it yet, the item we bought it for we haven't received the batteries for. Have you tried contacting the company directly?

To be honest, I don't remember. Go back on Amazon, bring up the account, look at the batteries that you bought and e-mail or call the company that you bought them from & ask them. They are really good about getting right back to you!

The batteries are a special battery pack. I don't know how common or how expensive they might be. I hope this helps.

I went in the shop and looked based on your comment and the data in the details on the web. The batteries are indeed lithium and working just as originally noted.

I purchased 3.7V 18650 3000mah Rechargeable Batterys. They seem to work well. I've used them for about a year so far.

I must AMMEND my former statement!!! A DUMMY battery is NOT A DEAD one. They are actually sold as dummies by companies and are cheap. I was lucky enough to have been corrected by RbwNY on July 7th. He/she informed me of this and added that pairing a 'dead' battery with the Li-on s can cause damage, etc. to the equipment. I should have known this as I know that pairing even an alkaline with a on-alkaline is NOT recommended. My apologies to everyone out there who has read my former comment. And a BIG THANKS to RbwNY for the help and advice!!!

My battery has been working fine. I am not sure what battery you're talking about. I used it for over 3 weeks and just had to recharge it today. I am guessing they are shipping with better batteries.

I went to a local BatteriesPlus store. They were incredibly helpful, and I know customer service and future attention to my needs will be better than if I bought the batteries online. Remember, batteries have a limited life-span and will need to be replaced. Buy them somewhere you can trust for reliable and consistent attention in the future.

Mine was labeled something else, but most brand name manufacturers contract out batteries and just slap their own sticker on it.What I can tell you the battery I got was a decent one, lasted about 3-4 hrs and worked with all power states and levels both windows and Linux. Just saying your results and mileage may vary, contact a professional if you get mileage or results longer than four hours
