Do Lithium Batteries Last Longer Than Alkaline

Much superior to alkaline batteries for use in my portable flash. Last longer, cycle faster.

Love the lithium battery. Lasts so much longer than all the alkaline batteries I was using and best of all it saves me gas on all the trips I don't have it make to change those alkaline batteries.

Finally a battery tester that will read NIMH batteries, along with Alkaline, Lithium and 9Volt. The pulse load gives a more accurate reading of what battery to use in a portable flash unit. Very easy to use and packs in easily when in the field.

It's good to have a battery testing on hand and this one does the lithium and alkaline batteries. One thing I would note is for rechargeable batteries that have been handled a lot; it a good practice to clean terminals with  isopropyl alcohol otherwise it could give inconsistent results. This is covered in the manual and in their FAQ on the website. It is not readily apparent as to why you would need to read the manual for such a straight forward device :).

Lithium batteries are much lighter than alkaline and rechargeable - great for a hot shoe mounted flash. And they last considerably longer. Just remember the voltage dropoff at the end is very steep. By the time you realize that the batteries are low, they're already dead. Carry spares!

GREAT PRODUCT. BETTER THAN MY LAST ONE.

Last longer than others.

Much better than alkaline batteries!

My old cameras seem happier with silver oxide than with alkaline batteries. The silver oxide ones keep their voltage stable longer, and they have less of a tendency to leak than alkaline batteries. They are harder to find these days, so I'm glad that B&H still stocks them.
