- How is this different from a regular alkaline battery?
- It uses lithium chemistry, so it lasts longer in high-drain devices, holds charge for years and performs better in cold and heat. Alkaline is cheaper but fades faster under heavy load.
- Can I recharge Energizer Ultimate Lithium cells?
- No. They are single-use. Use a rechargeable NiMH or lithium-ion system if you want to recharge.
- Do they work in cold weather?
- Yes. They are one of the better choices for freezing conditions, where alkaline cells lose voltage quickly.
- Are they worth it for clocks and remotes?
- Usually not. Low-drain devices do fine on alkaline. The long-life advantage shows up in cameras, flashes, controllers and sensors.
- Do they leak like alkaline batteries?
- Lithium cells are far less prone to the leakage that affects old alkaline batteries, though no battery is leak-proof.
- What devices are they made for?
- High-drain gear: digital cameras, flashes, game controllers, flashlights, smoke detectors and outdoor sensors.
