how many months should a rechargable battery last?

Well they say you can recharge batteries at least 500 times. How long do you estimate it will take you to recharge those batteries 500 times? If you discharged and recharged them daily it would take over 16 months.

However if you mistreat them and discharged them to the point that they suffer polarity reversal then they could be one month old and they would be no good.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by your question. But, according to Energizer, rechargeable batteries are designed to self discharge at the rate of approx. 1/2 - 1% per day, when not used...so you need to make sure you charge them at least a day before you want to use the camera.
And if batteries have not been used for at least a month or more, then you will need to use and recharge them a few times for them to attain their full power capacity.

When you think of a battery's life you don't usually think of it in terms of months...but charge cycles. Depending on the type and power of batteries (and the charger used), you could perhaps get at least 500-1000 charges.

Not exactly sure what your question is.

Once fully charged, NiMHi batteries don't hold their charge all that well (like Alkaline's do). After 2-3 months, you will have lost perhaps 50% of the charge in the battery.

However- if you recharge them regularly, they should last 500-1000 charges. (i.e. years).

A regular duracell Alkaline battery will hold a charge for many years, but doesn't have half the energy density of a NiMHi. Pefect for that flashlight that you leave in the drawer, but lousy for the digicam you use every week.

Well if the moths flew into a high voltage bug lite, they will carry a higher Milli-Ampere rating. Its is difficult however to recharge Sony 2500 batteries with moth carcasses. EverReady does better with moth bodies if aligned properly.
