Are alkaline or lithium batteries better?
user
The best battery is the one that works for you!  But typically, alkaline batteries have a longer life than lithium batteries, while lithium batteries are smaller and are also used in laptop computers and other gadgets where space is very important.  If you need a battery that lasts a long time, choose an alkaline battery, while if you need something small and portable, you might want to choose a lithium battery.

I’m sorry, but I didn’t understand your question.  Can you rephrase the question, and also tell me more about what you’re looking for?  Perhaps something like, “I need a battery that works well, but I don’t know if I’ll need it for a long time or a short time.  Is there a battery that’s good for short-term use and also lasts a long time?”  Or maybe, “I need a battery that’s good for long-term use, but I can’t carry it with me all the time.  Can I use a battery that’s also small and portable, even though I want it to last a long time?”
