Coming from the "Going and Going and Going" department, Lockergnomie Bill Funk assaults your battery choices. Robust electronic devices suck juice like none other; dependent hardware often ships with feeble energy cells. Upgrading to a more efficient battery is encouraged, although it's not always cost effective. No matter which way you go, steer clear of the classic Alkaline option. If your path isn't proprietary, scope out Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. Not only are they rechargeable, but your unit will run longer with them inside. When you're considering purchasing a new peripheral (like a digital camera), you should keep a preferred battery type in mind.
