There are 1.5 volt lithium batteries, such as AA's. They are rare, and
have extremely long shelf life, but I have never seen specs for
discharge rate, etc.

The only ones I have ever seen were packed with a fan powered gas mask,
but I think you can get them if you shop around.

Considering the shelf life of alkeline batteries sold here is less than
a year, even the "name brands". It's almost a moot point. We no longer
get any batteries from west of us, they all come from Korea, "China"
(inside the PRC), Singapore or Hong Kong.

Even the Japanese brands (Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba) are made in China,
and so are the famous US brands (EverReady, DuraCell). The only one missing
is Ray-O-Vac.

Geoff.

Ray-O-Vac is now called Energizer, i thought you were on the cc: of
the memo.


Ray-O-Vac is still Ray-O-Vac.

http://www.rayovac.com/

which is owned by Spectrum Brands

No where does it mention Energizer.



Eveready changed their name to Energizer several years ago:

You have to stop believing all of those fake memos.
