If you use Lithium batteries, you know that they have a long life, but when they die, replacing them hurts the wallet. They can last a year, so they are good value IMO.
Ok, so, if you check your cameras frequently, and one is dead. DON"T pitch the batteries. Check them with a volt meter. You will likely find only one or two are dead. Often the rest still have full voltage.
Obviously, if you leave your camera for months, you may want to change them all.
But if you check say weekly, why throw out perfectly good batteries? Save money, replace only the dead ones.
New lithiums I have checked run between 1.75 and 1.85 volts. Anything 1.5V or below won't run the camera in cold weather, and higher is better.
