BigS, buddy, they're all just regular alkaline batteries. The folks on Madison Ave would have you believe there's advanced Alkaline battery technology out there. But it's all just BS. Since 1986, Eveready and Rayovac have been promoting alkaline battery technology as if it's the most amazing thing since sliced bread. Truth is alkaline batteries haven't changed one bit since 1967.

Lithium-Manganese and Lithium-Potassium batteries are the current next generation. They're so much better, the base voltage has changed from 1.5 volts per cell to 3.7 volts per cell. More than doubled. And the current has tripled. And the capacity has quadroupled.

So yeah, you can stay on those 45 year old "advanced" alkalines, or you can come on over to the dark side. Which ironically is the light side, 'cause we got way more power over here 😊
