AA Lithium batteries

[bobmac]

Has anyone used these and are they really that much better than 'normal' batteries.
The claims they make are quite impressive.
Thanks

Use them in the blink cameras we have and they are pretty good albeit the cameras can be battery heavy! quite pricey though

The AA lithium batteries are 3V so if you use two in a device you also need a dummy battery and you need to have a lithium battery charger.

They are exactly the same batteries that make up the power packs for things like drills.

Really? I thought you used them just like a normal battery.

I use those in my cordless mouse. It eats batteries, but these last really well.

I had assumed you were looking at rechargeable lithium batteries.

Thanks been a while since I last looked at switching to Lithium.

I bought some very high amp hour alkalines last time (2850) and find I get good enough life from them for my purposes eg my GPS does 3 rounds between charges.

Last time I looked for them a few ago, there was no such thing as a rechargeable lithium AA battery, for the very good reason that it would be far too easy to accidentally try and charge them in a NiCad/NMh charger with consequent risk of fire/explosion.

Are they now available?

Having had a quick look I see that 1.5V ones are now available
