You need a new camera! I keep my old one around as a back-up and use the new one with the lithium battery that lasts almost forever. I used to be a stickler for cameras that used regular batteries, so you could always grab a couple AAs from a convenience store if you need to, but now I'm sold on the the lithiums.
I have a power screwdriver with a rechargeable lithium and it is so much better than my old nickel-cadmium, or whatever it was, it's not funny. The lithium one is much more powerful, and the charge just won't quit. It cost more, but has been worth every penny.
