Re: Re: COMP: toys - batteries

I thought he mentioned the lithium batteries, but maybe it was somewhere else. I read a comment that the lithium batteries are good to carry for backup because they retain their initial charge longer.

As to the cost, that is strictly a question of battery life versus cost (to me anyway). If last 10 times longer than alkaline ones but only cost 4 times as much... no brainer.

Thanks John.

They include a few non-rechargeable alkaline batteries for comparison,
but not the non-rechargeable lithium photo batteries (Energizer) I
sometimes use.

Are they so expensive that most people just get the rechargeable ones?
