A line to let you know that you are dealing with revolutionary batteries is \"best to use it by 2002 \".
\"This is the first thing to attract attention, it is a one-to-one plastic foam bag. 5-
Now there are AA lithium battery brand photo batteries on the market.
If used by 2003, next year\'s batch will be \"best \". \" And so on. A 10-
The annual shelf life is just one of the advances in lithium AA batteries.
The manufacturer Eveready Battery Company claims that they are eco-friendly and clean and do not leak, and last three times as long as alkaline AA batteries in the camera.
Eveready began selling lithium AA in December 1992 and is now available in supermarkets, department stores and many other places where alkali is sold.
While lithium batteries have been available in other sizes and more money for several years, this is the first time a lithium battery AA has been offered.
Any camera or flash that uses alkaline AA batteries can safely use lithium AA.
If you can\'t find lithium in the wild, switch back to the standard alkaline battery.
But don\'t mix alkaline with lithium because the power of the new battery will run out soon.
These batteries are the answer to a huge question facing photographers: Batteries-
The main reason for the camera failure is the related failure.
Modern camera is the unremitting consumer of electricity-
Battery power settings auto exposure, control auto focus, auto push and rewind, trigger flash and generate pictures of electric sequences.
Advertisements are usually present in batteries and often mercury, lead, cadmium and other heavy metals associated with environmental pollution are not used when making lithium AA.
Forgetting to replace lithium AA may or may not be a potential disaster.
When alkaline batteries and other universal batteries leak, they damage the camera.
However, Eveready said that the less corrosive substances produced by the chemical reaction in the lithium battery will not damage the equipment where the battery is located.

In a statement announcing lithium AA, Gilbert Merritt, vice president of business development for Eveready, Ralston Purina division, said the battery was the biggest improvement in battery technology since the launch of alkaline AA batteries 30 years ago.
\"This battery will provide power systems for design engineers in emerging technologies in the 21 st century,\" he said . \".
\"Most of the devices for Energizer lithium batteries have not been invented in the end.
\"The price of lithium batteries is higher ---
Sometimes the price doubles. -
Better than alkaline;
A recent check found lithium 2-
Sell the package for $4. 97 at K-Mart.
Because alkaline substances will participate in promotional activities in different regions of the country, the price will be very different.
According to the manufacturer, lithium batteries will operate at extreme temperatures ---from -
40 degrees to 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
They are also available for CD players, tape recorders, portable TVs, computers and all appliances that use alkaline batteries.
The AA lithium battery was completely developed in the United States.
The test shows that in actual use, the lithium battery will produce 800 to 1,000 electronic flash during the service life.
Eveready says it uses a conservative number in the literature that flashes 600 times. Eveready color-
Code the tip of the battery.
The color code for lithium is soft red.
The photographer does not have to browse the alphabet during the replacement time
The digital maze finds out which cell is the correct cell for his camera-
Just remember the color.

The drum of lithium batteries is longer.
