Lithium Manganese Batteries

This type of battery is most often found as a button cell or in cylindrical form. Lithium manganese batteries have a much better storage life than most batteries and can be stored for several years. High temperatures have little effect on the operating capabilities of these batteries. They also work very well in low temperatures, and are used often in devices designed for outdoor use.

The button cell form of lithium manganeses can be found in watches and pacemakers and most products with a slim profile. Products with other varieties of lithium manganese batteries include heavy-use flashlights, handheld video games, shavers and electric toothbrushes. One of the recycling processes currently available for lithium-containing batteries involves recovering the lithium in the battery and selling it back to battery manufacturers.
