Rayovac has, and Energizer pulled a Mag
Rayovac feels that the batteries the are selling do not infringe on the Energizer patents.

I found several articles that expanded on it somewhat, but do not specifially mention AA and AAA.To my knowledge and about 5 minutes worth of Googling, I cannot find where Rayovac makes an AA or AAA sized lithium cell, only CR123, CR2, and coin cell. The article makes no reference to a specific cell to really know.
Energizer said it believes Spectrum Brands, the Atlanta-based seller of Rayovac batteries, infringed two of its patents by importing and selling primary lithium batteries in the United States.
But not the lithium iron-disulfide chemistry that gives 1.7V, right?ROV has been making other types of lithium based cells for years.
It would have been nice to know which US retailer was selling those cells.
Can someone with a Costco membership please check Costco.
I checked Sam's, Circuit City, Walmart and Target but none there.
I will go check Best Buy and Fry's later.
Where else could this be sold? Remember, the articles mention "major retailer".
Who are the major retailers?
I kinda figured you had an inside view, based on your previous posts and locationThe Rayovac Li-FeS2 aren't currently available at any retailer in the US. There's no need to check around. How can I be sure? Let's just say I know more than a little bit about what's going on at Rayovac...

I forget who said it, but: "Everything you read in the news is true, except everything you actually know about."Again, the press is wrong with the news. The news reports said they are available at a major retailer ...
They always get the details wrong.

Hopefully Rayovac comes out on top on this one.
Patents have a finite lifespan. When does the Energizer patent expire, anyone know?
When was it granted?
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]This is the case with Energizer's Lithium primary cells which have been marketed since 1990.
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]In the past 13 years, high rate capacity has gone from a nominal 1,700 mAh to over 2800 mAh, while operating temperature performance has improved to give almost 100 times the run time of a standard Alkaline cell at -200 C.
Depends on where you live.$2.00 for each L91 is too expensive.
If you get from Sam's, cost is $1.75 for each L91.
Depends on where you live.
They are $4.50 a piece here in Canada, so $2.00 is a bargain, even with shipping costs.
