No, Li-ions aren't expensive as you don't figure the expense of batteries entirely on the initial cost but rather cost over the life of the battery (many charge cycles)
I know that but you are taking this out of context of the point I was making. They are expensive for 1-time use for someone who is travelling, not in a position to recharge, not in a position to carry used-up cells, needs lightest possible gear with the idea of discarding cells that are not needed anymore.
Many situations exist where Li-Ion is the wrong solution, even though I realize, they work really well 95% of the time.
Dot mil does not care about cost-saving for example. They still hand out Surefire 6P with incan bulbs and a trainload of 123s at many places. Today in 2017. Tax payer based gear so who gears about recharging? When the stuff is free.
