After two years of constant use in my headphones (8+ hours a day), I still get a full week’s worth of power from each battery. I don’t recall how long traditional batteries lasted, but I don’t think it was all too much longer. I don’t have any to compare it with as a major benefit is not needing to worry about buying batteries ever. I do need to make sure I keep charged and discharged batteries separate.
If you take a Sharpie and write the date onto the battery when you buy it, then if the battery starts giving you grief (e.g. it’s frequently not charged when you fetch it from the storage container) after its normal lifespan, you can toss it without worrying that it’s a defective battery or that you did something wrong.
Use rechargeable batteries.
