Disposable Batteries - Reviews
If you don't want to spend all your time researching about batteries and battery chargers then disposable is the best option for you. Disposable batteries are a great overall battery that are good for about everything.
There isn't a wide selection of disposable batteries in the world for everyday use, the two common types of disposable batteries used are Alkaline batteries, and Lithium batteries.

Lithium Batteries

Lithium batteries, not to be confused with Lithium Ion batteries, which are the rechargeable form of Lithium batteries.

• They are about the same as the alkaline batteries in almost every way.
• They are able to store and supply much more energy then their alkaline counterparts.
• They are more expensive then alkaline batteries, but they will last longer.
• They are about 33% lighter than the average Alkaline battery.

Lithium batteries, able to last for a long period of time, with an average life span of 10 years, are becoming the popular choice for disposable batteries, with about double the capacity of Alkaline batteries, they are able to effeciently power high energy draining devices such as MP3 players and digital cameras.

Alkaline Batteries

Alkaline batteries, the most common type of disposable battery, are commonly used in everyday electronic devices, such as remote controls, MP3 players, and digital cameras.

• No memory loss. As you can't charge them.
• They have a very slow self-discharge rate.
• Once they run out of their charge, you have to throw them away and replace them with new ones. Which can be bad for your money if you're replacing them on a regular basis, as the prices will add up.

Alkaline batteries last for a long period of time, with a shelf life of 2 years, keeping about 90 percent of their original capacities. They can perform well at high temperatures as well as low temperatures. There are two available types of alkaline batteries, standard alkaline and premium alkaline.
Standard Alkaline batteries are generally used in low to moderate power draining devices such as portable scanners and remote controls.
Premium Alkaline batteries are generally used in high power draining devices such as digital cameras, MP3 players, CD players, and video cameras.

• DO NOT carry loose batteries with metal objects of any sorts, such as coins, paper clips, etc.
• DO NOT mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries, this can cause the battery to leak battery acid, or explode.

The Do's

• Some electronics can only handle certain types of batteries, so it's important to see what batteries are able to be used with your electronics.
• Make sure to put the batteries in correctly, with the positive (+) and negative (-) on the appropiate sides.
• Make sure each the ends of the batterys are clean, which allow a complete connection with the electronic.
