It probably will be cheaper (using the camera), and if your power budget
allows it, I think that the best bet.

Sealed lead-acid have a very long life (see the one in your car, every
time you start the car a lot of energy is used). Also, they are about
twice as large and trice as heavier than equivalent Li-Ion, but cheaper.
