Tips  and  Guidelines

If  you’re  concerned  about  the  weight  of  your  load  and  won’t  have  access  to  a  way  to  recharge  batteries  in  the  
wild,  three  sets  of  lithium  batteries  weigh  only  half  as  much  as  six  sets  of  standard  batteries,  so  again  their  
long  life  makes  them  the  obvious  choice.  
However,  you  pay  for  that  extra  recording  time,  and  if  there  is  no  compelling  reason  to  use  lithiums,  
rechargeables,  or  rechargeables  plus  standard  batteries  for  backup  are  probably  the  better  choice.  
There  is  another  consideration  when  deciding  about  lithium  batteries.  Lithium  batteries  are  not  as  easy  to  
recycle,  and  have  more  environmental  implications  than  their  alkaline  and  rechargeable  battery  counterparts.  
Lithium  batteries  should  always  be  disposed  of  properly,  and  not  every  place  that  accepts  alkaline  and  NiMH  
batteries  will  accept  lithium.
