â¢ The life time of lithium batteries is much higher than the alkaline batteries. â¢ Lithium batteries are easy to use. They can be used in either very hot or cold conditions where alkaline batteries cannot be used. Therefore, lithium batteries can be used for outdoor activities also, compared to the alkaline batteries.
1 The electrodes of a lithium-ion battery are made of lightweight lithium and carbon. 2  Lithium is also a highly reactive element, meaning that a lot of energy can be stored in its atomic bonds. 3  This translates into a very high energy density for lithium-ion batteries. A lithium-ion battery pack loses only about 5 percent of its charge per month, compared to a 20 percent loss per month for NiMH batteries. 2  They have no memory effect, which means that you do not have to completely discharge them before recharging, as with some other battery chemistries.
