Interesting that you should bring this up. My first digicam was a Fuji 6900Z in 2002. Last month I dug it out and found that neither of the two batteries I had would carry any charge.

So I looked on the internet and found some suppliers of the NP-80 cells.Not only were the batteries expensive (more than the OP prince, but the customer feed-back indicated that a fair proportion of the batteries were DoA. So back in the cupboard went my 'collectors item'.

You raise a valid point.

It brings us back to the old film vs digital debate.....I recently met a guy who had used the same film camera for 35 years.  I dont think that will ever happen with digital but who knows.
