These batteries hold more power than rechargeable batteries but must be replaced more frequently. When choosing a battery, use the capacity, measured in milliampere-hours, to compare among similar sizes. The higher the mA-hr. rating, the longer the battery should last.
Lithium batteries are lightweight and long lasting. They work well in high-drain devices such as digital cameras.
