Hw long does it lasts????

[Laptop]

I got a panasonic DMC FS3 black digital camera and in their manual they said the battery will lasts upto 320 shorts. Is that true? Because in my camera it didnt lasts much.. Do u think it is essential to have a back up like extra battery???

Also please give ur opinion about the place to kee the new battery (if I buy a new battery). I didnt mean to point a place but do u think it will be all right if I keep the new one in the battery charger. They gave a batery case but I need it for my first one. So wat u think ???

Please answer my questions..I would really appreciate it if you give your great knowldget into this.....

The more you flatten the batteries and fully charge them, the longer they will last. a Good place to keep batteries (if you buy one) would be in your camera case.
