I have 10 batteries for my M9 and MM, which use the same ones.  I have 2
batteries for the M240, but those last longer.  I have one battery for the
Fuji but have ordered 2 more.  It's not at all unusual for me to take 1000
photos a day.  The places I will be in Honduras will have electricity
provided by a generator for the eye clinics but we will have to use the one
outlet to plug in the refraction machine.  I will not have electricity at
night.  This may be interesting.
