Well, it didn't take long to get the answer on the EZO Power batteries.
After charging they sat unused for a couple of days, one in the camera
the other one out. This morning I took the camera out and made 24
shots. I had set the camera aside for a couple of hours and just
downloaded the images. I decided to check the state of the battery
afterwards and it's already flashing low battery orange on the battery
icon. I'm afraid 24 shots/charge isn't going to cut it. I suspect that
if I charged it again it would deliver even fewer the next time.
Back to Amazon for the Progos.
