Clyde:
A "while" is on the order of one to two weeks at normal room temperatures,
based on my experience. I tried using the doubled-up lithiums in my OM-4, and
was nothing if not unhappy with the "performance" (if I can use that word).
Stick with SR44/Silver 357/[whatever their equivalents are called where you buy
them]. Good cold-weather performance and good life, due to relatively flat
discharge curve.
Good luck.
