LR44 batteries are lithium based, S-76 are silver oxide with the same
form factor. There's just no comparison. The silver based batteries
last a very long time in most every device. The S-76 batteries in my HP
42s haven't been changed in at least three years. I haven't been using
my film cameras very much lately, but the silver oxide batteries in the
LX and MX cameras haven't been changed in at least 5 years. They cost a
bit more, sometimes more than three times as much, but they last a lot
longer than three times as long.

The s-76 batteries for the LXen and MXen are still good, but I feel your pain.
Question - what are the best batteries for LX? I used some Maxell
LR44, but a pair could only hold up for 4 rolls... Is LX that power
hungry? Are my batteries not so good?
I also found that CR11108 or CR1/3N could be used and are better -
lithium cells... Any advice?
Thanks!
