HI

I have a black Diamond Vectra headlamp which takes 4 x AA. Been using it with lithium cells lately and quite dissappointed...The thing is supposed to last literally years on standby with alkalines but the lithium cells seldom last more than 3 months on standby with occasional use. Pity because they are really light weight but too expensive to be worthwhile for this application.

However, my garmin 60CS (note, not 60CSx) can track for a bout 7 days of hiking/mountain biking on battery saver mode with a single set. Very impressive
