Lithiums are awesome! It depends on the device, but in my GPS, they thing goes like the Energizer bunny and never quits. In a headlamp, it lasted maybe 2-1/2 times as long.NZcaver wrote::exactly: I'm with you on this!
But... I still can't resist playing a little Devil's Advocate as well.
If you're operating remotely for an extended period (think week long or more caving or wilderness expeditions), you may want to consider carrying (non-rechargeable) lithiums. They're not cheap, but they are the lightest weight battery technology available as far as I know. Of course if your headlamp or other device already uses custom Li-Ion rechargeable packs, then this is pretty much a moot point.

Nar, wouldn't dream of it. I'm one of those annoying people who sweeps up after other cavers...NZcaver wrote:I hope you're not in the habit of losing "small" items like AA batteries in caves.
Oddly nuff, it seems like I only lost the expensive ones; the cheapies turn up all the time... Come to think of it, that was back when the kids were still living at home.

I have a lot of stuff and certainly lose things occasionally, but even I don't find it that hard to keep track of batteries. (No offense.) I keep sets of rechargeables in little baggies, ready to go. But if I ever need to buy alkalines in a pinch, it's nice have that option too.
