What are the practical differences between Lithium batteries and Lithium-ion batteries and is one or the other an eco-hazard?
Schnazola
The biggest differences are that lithium batteries contain lithium metal and are not rechargeable. Lithium ion batteries, however, do not contain lithium metal and can be recharged.The small lithium and lithium ion batteries that are provided an exception to dangerous goods/hazardous materials regulations are used primarily in consumer applications. Small lithium batteries are often used in cameras and watches. Lithium ion batteries are commonly found in cellular phones and laptop computers.Batteries does not have any eco-hazard as long as it is not carelessly dumped with general waste. It can only pose threat to environment as it contains metals like.. lithium, nickel, chromium, iron,etc. and which can leach to groudwater and contaminate soil if not disposed off responsibly.

Can alkaline batteries be charged in the freezer?
NO, putting batteries in the freezer will not charge them. For alkaline batteries (the most common kind of household battery), putting them in the freezer will extend their shelf life by less than 5%. And cold batteries can't be used immediately -- you have to wait until they've warmed up to room temperature first. If you need those batteries for a flashlight in an emergency, this could prove problematic. When stored at room temperature, alkaline batteries retain 90% of their power, and the average shelf life of alkaline batteries is five to seven years. For NiMH and Nicad batteries (often used for electronics), storing them in the freezer might be more practical. These kinds of batteries lose their charge after a few days when kept at room temperature. But they'll retain a 90% charge for months if you store them in the freezer. Just like alkaline batteries, you'll need to wait until they've warmed up before using them. However, this isn't a problem when you need new batteries for your digital camera or other electronic gadget. Battery manufacturers tend to agree. Kodak says "refrigeration is not necessary, nor is it recommended" and "freezing is not recommended" for its alkaline batteries. Duracell advises: "Do not refrigerate Duracell batteries. This will not make them last longer." Both recommend storing batteries in a cool, dry place.

Is it practical to connect batteries of different emfs in series?
You can connect batteries with different voltages in series (a 6 volt and a 12 volt would give you 18 volts), but never in parallel (difference of potential will create an arc, batteries could blow up).

What does reconcile differences mean?
I think you mean irreconcilable differences. If so, irreconcilable differences are differences between spouses that are considered sufficiently severe to make married life together more or less impossible. In a number of states, irreconcilable differences is the accepted ground for a no-fault divorce. As a practical matter, courts seldom, if ever, inquire into what the differences actually are, and routinely grant a divorce as long as the party seeking the divorce says the couple has irreconcilable differences.

Is a lithium battery a substitute for a radium battery?
Absolutely not. While there are radioisotope batteries, radium is too expensive and dangerous for it to be used in them! Most radioisotope batteries use either plutonium-238 or tritium as the radiation source. It can be quite dangerous to handle these batteries. Radioisotope batteries can generate usable electricity for one or two halflives of the isotope and can thus function for years to centuries (or even longer) before going dead. Radioisotope batteries are almost always custom designed for the application and sometimes cannot be replaced as the device using them (e.g. deep space probe, equipment for operation in inaccessible remote sites) will not be operating at a location where any repairs or replacements would be practical. Lithium batteries are chemical batteries, that generate electricity by electrochemical "corrosion" of plates inside the battery. Primary lithium batteries can go dead in weeks to months. Secondary lithium batteries may not go dead for years, but need to be recharged. Most lithium batteries are designed to be user replaceable.
