That being said, non-rechargeables other than the lithiums are chemical reactions that run to completion, leaving relatively inert or benign compounds behind.

Do we expect vehicle lithiums to mainly be made in China or will be able work with Eva Morales?

It's hard to make a case for using NiMH rechargeables to charge an iPhone, especially for backpacking, where weight is important: seven lithiums weigh just under what four NiMHs weigh.

The lithiums are not 'read' the same way because the PDM was made for alkalines (I think ... don't quote me on that though; -) So what that means is that it reads 'full battery' pretty much until about 2 days before it dies.

So you can get about 3.6 times the iPhone-charging capacity per gram from lithiums than from NiMHs - but you can't recharge them.

It's more likely that they use alkaline batteries, the 40\% increase in energy per liter over lithiums would be critical for a mission of this length.

My Olympus P&S digicam rarely get more than a half dozen shots off of a brand new set of Energizer lithiums but will shoot hundreds of shots using NiMH AA rechargables.
