Is he underestimating here? I'd say yes. The Li-Ions in my DSLR are still as good as the day I got them 18 months ago. And like I said earlier, my 9 year old camcorder Li-Ions are still running strong. I haven't checked recently to see just how well, but I'm more than confident in saying that I'm still getting a minimum of 75% of their original capacity.

The 2 aftermarket 2000 mah batteries purchased about 3 1/2 years ago are beginning to show their age, probably getting 300 shots instead of the original 500. I bought 2 more aftermarket 2000 mah batteries 18 months ago for a vacation in Europe and these still give the same number of shots as the day they were new. The strange thing is that around 2002 I bought three sets of NIMH AA's for my old Nikon 950 and although the camera is long gone, I still use the AA's for my present flash and they work great getting at least 100 or so flashes per charge. I can only guess that they lasted so long because they do not have that many charge cycles on them.
