lithium batteries

how long do lithium batteries typically last in the cameras?

I had 4 energizer ultimate lithiums last for about *3 months in my cam and then used them in my digital point and shoot for another month.

* results may vary

 Bought some energizer "advanced lithium" yesterday, put them in the camera and it says they're 1/2 spent, so I have to take them back. First time with that problem.

Mine takes 8 and I got a year out of them last time, but I think they were getting low and I missed a couple pictures do to it  so this set I won't let go more than 9 months.

In a standard camera or device not set to read a lithium style battery life, the reading will say 50%. In my gps you have to tell it what kind of battery you are using so it will read it correctly. It doesn't mean your batteries are bad. They still could be but I was just throwing that out there.
