How long do the rechargeable batteries last before they need to be replaced?

For more information on lithium polymer batteries, you can visit the following website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_polymer_battery. Essentially, asking this question is like asking how long your cell phone battery will last, or how long your car battery will last.
