Main disadvantage is cost. Looking on Amazon, it's $1.61/ea AA lithium vs $0.62/ea akalaline. That's Energizer vs Energizer. Amazon Basics AA alkaline are $0.32

- Dylan16807 9mo agoWell how many batteries do you need as long term storage for emergency use? $10 worth? Everything else use rechargables for a dollar-ish plus charger cost.
