For the uniformed, how long should a AA lithium battery last if used very sparingly and also can you charge a lithium on a Ni-MH/NiCd charger?
Howdy Sir,
I charged nimh batteries constantly for a variety of things I only have one set of lithium's that have a charger that came with them. The lithium's are bigger than the AA batteries. In general lithium are more powerful and last a lot longer than nimh.
I would suggest giving these experts a jingle and asking them and get the correct answer :

Thing with batteries is; How long where those suckers on the warehouse shelf BEFORE they went to the retail outlet? I had two rechargeable batteries for a DeWalt drill that lasted around fifteen years.
I use a multimeter to test the batteries after they are charged to. Lot of difference on voltage on the same battery sometimes.
A VOM wont give you a true value of a batteries health. You need a tester that puts a load on the battery. I got my battery tested at radio shack. You can get a quality one on amazon
