Lithium batteries don't have gold - or lead. They have -- wait for it -- lithium.

Not only are they MUCH lighter but the charge doesn't "decay" slowly like lead/acid ones. Lithium batteries give out either full voltage, or none at all.  That's good and bad, of course; you get full power all the time, but you can get surprised when everything suddenly dies like a switch thrown.

Aaahhh -- that was a joke, son...
