Lithium batteries use some type of lithium in their construction and are different from more traditional alkaline batteries. One of the key features of lithium batteries is the increase in the amount of electricity that is produced from a certain size of battery when compared to alkaline batteries. This feature also has a drawback, however, since a lithium battery can have a very harmful reaction when short circuited inside of a device. This can actually cause the battery to discharge electricity and heat very quickly, potentially igniting the battery itself.

Does alkaline batteries have more power or does lithium batteries have more power?
lithium batteries have a faster current discharge rate then alkaline batteries but they cost more. The LIPO battery is used the most in RC planes.
Can you put in lithium ion batteries in a camera that takes AA Alkaline batteries?
no if you do the camera can explode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you use lithium batteries instead of alkaline batteries?
Careful Answer: SOMETIMES. But ALWAYS check the label of the lithium battery in question to make sure it is rated for "1.5v" before attempting to use it as a replacement for an alkaline battery. Explanation: Alkaline primary batteries have a nominal voltage of 1.5v per cell. Lithium primary ("primary"=disposable) batteries USUALLY have a nominal voltage of "3v" per cell. There are some Lithium primary cells, AA's for example, that have a nominal voltage of 1.5v per cell which makes them a suitable replacement for alkaline batteries. To complicate matters, however, there are rechargeable lithium-ion cells in the AA format which have a nominal voltage of 3.6v per cell, and more commonly there are "Lithium Phosphate" AA's which have a nominal voltage of 3.2v or 3.3v per cell. Using either of these as a replacement for alkaline batteries would be potentially destructive for both the batteries and the device you install them in.
What are the three primary batteries?
Three primary batteries are lithium battery, alkaline battery, atomic battery.
Why are lithium batteries more expensive than alkaline batteries?
They last longer and work more quickly
What is inside of expensive batteries last longer than cheaper batteries?
the most common non rechargeable battery is alkaline batteries. the more expensive batteries contain more lithium. the lithium batteries last a lot longer. you can also buy heavy duty batteries. although it sounds like they should last longer..they don't. heavy duty batteries are actually a step down from alkaline.
What was the name of the person who invented alkaline batteries?
The person who invented the alkaline battery was Lewis Urry. He invented both this battery and the lithium battery in the 1950s. These batteries were longer running and cheaper than their precursors.
Where can one purchase a 9v power supply?
9V batteries are a type of alkaline battery. The alternative is a lithium battery. Alkaline batteries use zinc as an anode whereas lithium batteries use lithium. Lithium batteries produce higher voltage and have a longer lifespan, thus they are more expensive.
What is the d batteries made of?
Some D batteries are made up of alkaline, zinc-carbon, lithium iron disulfide, nickel cadmium, and nickel-metal hydride.
What types of button batteries are there?
There are several variations of button cell batteries. Some of these include the alkaline, Mercury, zinc-air, silver and lithium. Button cells battery types are each distinguished by a unique letter code.
Are lithium batteries and normal pencil batteries are same?
Lithium batteries are button type.
Which type of d battery lasts the longest?
The current leader in energy density and life is lithium chemistry batteries. If you can't get that, go for Alkaline.
