A lithium battery cr2032 battery does not really cost that much. You should be able to find these batteries in the store for $3 or $4 tops.
This will depend on both the type and size of the lithium battery. Also some lithium battery types actually contain metallic lithium sheets while others the lithium is only in the form of ions.
CR 2032 is one of the most common of the "quarter" sized batteries, and retail for $1.80-$2.00 each most places.
The NiCad battery costs around 45 to 50$.The Lithium Ion battery starts at around 75$.

I have not heard of a lithium-cadmium battery, but the expense of anything is due in large part to the cost of the materials and the processing necessary for manufacture. These costs can also include the various taxes and 'fees' charged by the government, licensing fees to patentholders, and whatnot.
An NP-120 is a Lithium ion rechargeable battery compatible with a variety of digital cameras, but most commonly the F10. Price varies from retailer to retailer, but you can see it here on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Fujifilm-Lithium-Rechargeable-Battery-Digital/dp/B0000ZH09O for a reasonable price.
Depending on how much energy the device you are using the battery for can make the duration of the battery life. They, usually last a very long time depending on how much you use it but you should always keep a spare on on you just in case. -hope this helps

Presumably you're talking about the battery. Lithium batteries are "primary batteries"; that is, they're not rechargeable. Lithium ion batteries are rechargeable, and are therefore a much better choice for a cell phone.
Because the chemicals (Lithium and Cadmium) are so much more expensive than Zink (I do not know of any "Copper battery") Carbon is used as the other electrode in a Zink-carbon battery. Li and Cd need to be very pure so that the battery does not overheat or loose charge quickly.
The cost for a good battery will run close to $100.00
The cost of lithium batteries is going to vary depending on the brand name that you plan on purchasing, and it depends on the type of batteries they are planning on using as well.
