Energizer E2 Lithium AA and AAA Batteries Review

With the advent of high-current portable electronic devices such as digital cameras, the demand for quality batteries has soared in the past several years. Many consumers are not aware that there are different types of batteries available to meet their power needs. While most people are familiar with traditional alkaline batteries, fewer people are aware that there is another battery formulation, lithium batteries, that are ever more powerful and more cost-effective than traditional alkaline batteries.

Energizer is perhaps the best known manufacturer of lithium batteries with its "e2" brand of lithium AA and AAA batteries. Energizer AA or AAA batteries are documented to last sever times longer than their alkaline counterparts, which is an important factor when choosing batteries for high-current-demand devices such as digital cameras or camcorders. Owners of digital cameras who have tried to power their devices with alkaline batteries are often disappointed in the length of time that alkaline batteries will continue powering their devices. And since it is often inconvenient to carry around a case or package full of extra batteries, Energizer e2 lithium AA or AAA batteries are the perfect solution for lasting power and portability.

Another benefit to Energizer e2 lithium AA and AAA batteries is their relatively low long-term cost compared to alkaline batteries. Energizer e2 lithium batteries cost approximately three times more than a same-quantity pack of Energizer alkaline batteries, but the Energizer e2 lithium batteries will last seven times longer than traditional alkaline batteries in most applications. This means that one will save quite a bit of money in the long-run buy investing in higher quality Energizer e2 lithium batteries than by purchasing alkaline batteries more frequently. The disadvantage is a relatively high up-front price point for the Energizer e2 lithium AA and AAA batteries, but the Energizer e2 batteries are unquestionably a better investment in the long-run than traditional alkaline batteries.
