If you can see this, you have WAY TOO much time on your hand. Or you're a mod going through my sig. But if you do, copy and past this in your sig.

I think it depends on the application. Different batteries are better for different uses.

I like the Lithiums, rechargeable, and lithium holds more power and is lighter than alkaline, NIMH or NICD batteries
