Essentially, lithium and alkaline batteries are made of different materials and are constructed differently. This affects their performance in various uses. Alkaline manganese dioxide batteries, commonly known as alkaline batteries, are good all-around batteries for everyday electronic devices and last longer than some other types. However, lithium iron disulfide batteries, or lithium batteries, have several distinct advantages over their alkaline counterparts:
In short, we can use a lithium battery as a high-performing alternative to a standard alkaline battery in many cases. However, the benefits come at a cost: Lithium is a more expensive technology, which means a higher price point. These batteries can even outlast the normal lifespan of some inexpensive, noncritical devices, like toys, so the extra cost may not be justified in every case. Also, lithium batteries are restricted to carry-on travel items by some airlines.
"I have seen multiple anglers have their batteries die on them during a tournament, including other lithium battery brands. That was just further validation that I made the best choice possible. I never have to worry about running out of power and having to head out early from a tournament to recharge my batteries anymore. I’m able to spend more time on the water - both while practicing and during tournaments - with no power loss. I understand now why so many professional anglers have already made the switch to RELiON batteries, as they provide a solid competitive edge.
