- Actually, Eveready (I think, some big battery manufacturer anyway)
- announced a 1.5V AA size lithium batteries about a month ago. I would
- presume that there's some funky chemistry going on inside the cell,
- different than that of "normal" lithium cells. They claim it lasts just as
- long as what we're used to in lithium, though.
-
- They also announced that they're going to mass-market AAAA batteries,
- which'll be useful.
