    HALO's on Lithium

    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

          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.

                      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)
