If	
  you’re	
  concerned	
  about	
  the	
  weight	
  of	
  your	
  load	
  and	
  won’t	
  have	
  access	
  to	
  a	
  way	
  to	
  recharge	
  batteries	
  in	
  the	
  
wild,	
  three	
  sets	
  of	
  lithium	
  batteries	
  weigh	
  only	
  half	
  as	
  much	
  as	
  six	
  sets	
  of	
  standard	
  batteries,	
  so	
  again	
  their	
  
long	
  life	
  makes	
  them	
  the	
  obvious	
  choice.	
  
However,	
  you	
  pay	
  for	
  that	
  extra	
  recording	
  time,	
  and	
  if	
  there	
  is	
  no	
  compelling	
  reason	
  to	
  use	
  lithiums,	
  
rechargeables,	
  or	
  rechargeables	
  plus	
  standard	
  batteries	
  for	
  backup	
  are	
  probably	
  the	
  better	
  choice.	
  
There	
  is	
  another	
  consideration	
  when	
  deciding	
  about	
  lithium	
  batteries.	
  Lithium	
  batteries	
  are	
  not	
  as	
  easy	
  to	
  
recycle,	
  and	
  have	
  more	
  environmental	
  implications	
  than	
  their	
  alkaline	
  and	
  rechargeable	
  battery	
  counterparts.	
  
Lithium	
  batteries	
  should	
  always	
  be	
  disposed	
  of	
  properly,	
  and	
  not	
  every	
  place	
  that	
  accepts	
  alkaline	
  and	
  NiMH	
  
batteries	
  will	
  accept	
  lithium.
