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.
