If you mean Energizer Alkalines, I agree, Chris.  But Energizer if you
really do mean Lithiums, then you probably don't need them in radios, for
instance.  I think Tom's linked-to article suggests the same, that
high-drain batteries do not perform well in low-drain applications.

My experience has tended to favour the Duracell ones.  Energizer have always
failed pretty quickly for me in flashes and radios.
