Depends on the usage. In low power drain devices operated mostly at room temperature, alkaline batteries are probably better. In high power drain devices sometimes operated at high or low temperatures, lithium is definitely better. It is best to use what the manufacturer of the device the battery will be used in recommends.

Comparing Lithium Batteries To Alkaline Batteries?

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.
