Very bad advice.

If you use "standard" sized lithium-ion batteries in a camera designed
for "normal" batteries you'll fry your camera. Lithium-ion batteries
produce twice the voltage of alkaline batteries and three times the
voltage of NiMH batteries..


I have yet to run out of battery power on my Stylus. There certainly
wasn't anywhere to charge it while in Russia. If I can take two or
three hundred pictures on one battery, I doubt I'll need any other,
but I usually travel with at least one spare (very small and light).
