How much life are people getting out of their OEM batteries? My camera battery is from 2007, but prior to my usage was left unused for awhile and the battery was poorly maintained and completely flat when I found it. When I first recharged it it was good for only 70 frames or so before it went fully flat. Now I find that it is good for about 120-150, there being some cell recovery. What is the norm for the M8 cells?
(as an aside, I am an electronics engineer who works closely with lithium cells - so I am familiar with their properties. I know that the cells in my battery will never recover to full capacity, I am just curious what is the "norm" for the M8; Leica suggest it should be good for some 400-500 frames).

I get slightly less than 400 from each of my 3 batteries. Its about equal to one battery per 4 gig card shooting raw.

150-300 per OEM battery. Depends on review/edit.
