These lithium batteries are great. They are long lasting, lightweight and work great in freezing temperatures. Their "BEST BY" date is often ten years or more. If you have a device in a fridge or freezer or outside where it gets cold/freezing, then these are very useful since alkaline batteries will often fail in cold temperatures. They are also useful for devices that are inconvenient to change batteries, like clocks or wireless outdoor temperature or motion sensors. If you're wealthy, then you might as well use these instead of alkaline or rechargeables, but because of the relatively high cost, I only use these for "special" applications. Otherwise I use alkalines or Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable batteries.

Very pricey (Amazon beats Wal-Mart hands-down), but they last the longest of any battery source. Consumer's just reviewed batteries for power-hungry digital cameras and confirmed same. I use 'em in my battery-eating HeadRoom Super Bithead portable headphone amp (4-AAA) along with my iPod Classic and Shure SE-530PTT music rig, and they outlast multiple sets of Duracell copper-top and Energizer Max alkalines. I carry an extra set in my computer bag so i'm never without my tunes! LOL!

Oops. I didn't realize there are TWO different types of lithium batteries: plain and rechargeable. I bought these, which are the plain type, but I meant to buy rechargeable. Though they're not what I wanted, for non-rechargeables they're pretty good.
