Lance,

Well, now you've started another sub-thread :)

> primary cells like alkaline or lithium ( lithium iron disulphide!...not
> lithium manganese dioxide which are only good for low current
> applications ).

The lithium/manganese dioxide batteries I've used have pretty low
internal resistance- the DL123A (duracell camera battery) is rated
for over one amp. continuous. Is that low current?

OK, you MIGHT need more than one amp to shock those grad students in
the psych studies. :)

Is it true that Lithium/Iron Disulphide batteries are very expensive
per W-hour compared with others?

Thanks,

Barry.
