So are Energizer e2 Lithium (LiFe) batteries, among select, other Lithium
compounds.

Every couple months when my wife goes to Costco or Sams, she picks
up a three (3) pack of four (4) batteries (twelve, 12, total).  We used to
try to buy more, but they made it such an issue, and even three (3) is
pushing it.

The Pentax K100D, K200D and K-x dSLR cameras use standard AA
batteries.  Yes, a 5 frames-per-second, old screw slot-compatible (pushin
 an APS-C sized lens), is able to run off of AA batteries.  Of course,
LiFe is the only way to go (long story) with these to get 1,500 shots
without over-volting and/or playing games with RCR-V3 that still don't
get as many (again, long story).

I've got the actuations on mine to prove my usage, and will likely just
take the camera with me next time to show the number.  It's so easy to fire
off 2,500-5,000 shots in just a half-day of contact sports or auto racing.

I also use them for the Pentax AF-360Z.  The current is enough to allow
two, sequential flashes before the caps need to be refilled for a couple of
seconds.  I can't get that out of other batteries.  It's saved me several times.

In doing research on soapmaking, I found that Lye is much more controlled.
In pure form, it can be used for clearing pipes.  One company had to change
its pure Lye formula because it could be easily purchased.  The problem is
that Lye is also used to make Meth.
