����LITHIUM BATTERIES ARE A VERY GOOD BATTERY FOR USE IN THIS APPLICATION, BECAUSE THEY HAVE A LONG SHELF LIFE. THIS MEANS THAT THEY CAN STAY IN THE FLOAT IN THE OFF POSITION FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME WITH LOSING A MINIMAL AMOUNT OF CHARGE.

����THESE BATTERIES ARE ALSO TEMPERATURE STABLE MEANING THAT PRODUCE POWER AT A BROAD RANGE OF TEMPERATURES WITHOUT EXPERIENCING A SUBSTANTIAL LOSS OF POWER EVEN AT LOW TEMPERATURES. THIS MAKES IT VERY USEFULL FOR COLD WEATER FISHING LIKE LATE FALL STEELHEAD OR SALMON FISHING. IN THESE CONDITIONS GLOWS STICKS(CYALUME) GLOW VERY DIMMLY AT BEST.
