HALO's on Lithium

[Russ]

Odyssey says a battery pack chuck full of those expensive Lithium double-A's weighs 3oz's less than Alkalines...well, I just dropped $15+ on a six-pack of Lithiums, and they weigh 1.8oz's less than the Alkalines. Oh well, every little bit counts :rolleyes:

but how long do they last?

i just bought some ni-mh rechargeable 9volts im going to
try out in my evolution2
it would be nice if they lasted

[Kaiser Bob]

9v batteries dont have anywhere near the mAh that AA's have... around 10 times less... not the best choice for the halo.

Batterys have a lot of flux in thier weight.

The Lithiums are light and will save you weight. The Heavy batteries typically are the better ones as far as Alkalines go.

KB - He is using the 9v's in his Evo II not the halo.

The TRUE 9.6v NiMH's will get a good bit of life from just make sure to charge them when your not using them because they ALWAY run out at the worst time :) And they will loss charge as they sit. Thats part of teh nature of NiMH 's

And those Lithiums will got a LOT of life from I ran 1 set from Dec until well into June.

yeah the Lithium battieries suppose to last like 4 times longer if i remeber correctly

Now for some very boring statistics...

Typical Alkaline battery weights,

Wal-Mart "Everactive" 24.67 grams
Ray-O-Vac 23.12g
Radio-Shack 24.62g
Energizer 24.3g

Lithium weight,

Energizer E2 14.51g

So, on average, lithiums weigh about 2 ounces less than alkalines in a Halo. AA alkalines can be had for .50 each (16-pack), where the lithiums cost me $2.50 each (4-pack)
