Disposable Lithium AA like Energizer Ultimate Lithium has voltage up to 1.7V. When it gets down to 1.5V it's kind of dead. Alkaline only about 1.55V new but most of its life is below 1.5V and usable down to 1.2V or so.
My Garmin GPS has settings for alkaline AA and lithium AA batteries. So there must be a difference.

I have been using first Nicads, then NiMH batteries and I really like the NiMH for my flashes. If I got some Li ion rechargeable batteries would I need a new charger? and could i use them in my F4?
No disadvantage to rechargable. I've taken unknown thousands of photos on my F5, only ever really used rechargables (sometimes alkaline in a pinch). Rechargables work great. I personally haven't noticed a huge difference in performance between different types of rechargables, either, beyond the general "the better ones last longer" that's to be expected. Even cheapo wal mart rechargables have gotten me through a full week of daily usage.Okay, that makes me wonder if I should start with lithium. The only "problem" with lithium is the choice of specs: Even at 1.5 volts, there are different power ratings among available batteries.
Is there any disadvantage to buying rechargeable batteries (instead of disposable batteries

I only have problem using AA NiMH with the F5. It's really not a problem but the camera would stop working on low battery before the batteries exhausted.
I've been using Li-Ion AAs in my F4 for over a year now. Works great. You do need a dedicated charger for them.I have been using first Nicads, then NiMH batteries and I really like the NiMH for my flashes.

I just ordered a well-used Nikon F5 body and I have no idea what kind of AA batteries I should get for it. I have spent quite a while reading (mostly old) content on the web regarding battery advice. There is a recent discussion on Reddit with only vague conclusions.
Assuming there isn't a battery that works perfectly in all F5 bodies, which should I start with?
Picked up four EBL Li-Ion AA batteries plus charger. Took about 4 hours to charge and so far they work great in my F4. Time will tell how they work.
