Lithium-manganese dioxide cells (3v non-rechargable) have a really steep discharge curve at EOL. I use them in my LX and Leicas and once the LX meter starts flashing I know I'll only get a minute or two more life. I always keep spares in my photo-pack, the advantage being that you know they'll still be OK for 10 years or so.
