Just wondering if anyone has weighed a lithium 9v like the Energizer Advanced Lithium or the Ultralife. The Duracell Alkaline comes in at 46g and I was wondering what weight advantage an off-the-shelf 9v lithium battery may have. I know that there are other low weight options, but I like the simple option of going to Wallyworld when in a pinch.
 
The Ultralife weighs 37 grams, while the Energizer Lithium comes in at about 34 grams. So the weight savings would be about 1/3 ounce. With a average price of $5-$8 each, seems like a lot of money to save 1/3 ounce, but i dont know your application and the weight savings may be more important to you then the price.
