I've been sorting through drawers and boxes and finding all kinds of forgotten items.
I'm not even sure where these came from, or how long I've had them. I'm pretty sure that they're AA size non rechargeable 3.6V lithium batteries.
I have no idea what I'm going to do with them, or why I had them in the first place.
i have some of these:

maybe you can find some explanations and using scenarios there
I guess they’re safe because they’re not LiIon. Kinda like the 1.5v lithium AA cells you buy, but closer to 14500.
I suppose they would be good to keep in car flashlights. They won’t leak or drain in freezing temps. LiFeP04 cells that can’t be recharged. I don’t know whether to save them, or load up my 14500 size lights. The problem is, I don’t really use my AA sized lights anymore. Mostly keep them around for power failures.
Got a bunch of these too.
Each cell is a 2/3 Nimh. I got some others running some old lumens mini mags. Helps you get over the 3v hump that two AAs give you.
Cant get it to post nice but factory spec says
Max. Continuous current 100mA
Max. Pulse current 200mA
so not a heck of a lot
For low drain/high capacity/long term operating applications requesting
superior voltage response in –55 ~+85 environments.

Those are typically used to hold longterm settings (CMOS) in computers, among other things.
You can find higher rated NiMH cells in all sorts of sizes, I”m using the 4/3AF (same size as 18650) in some lights
Good for making a powerful AA flashlight for your mom or dad to keep in a drawer or the car. It won’t blow up no them, and they don’t need a charger.
I’ve tried all kinds of combinations and types of cell on mini mags (OL customs), but now I pretty much run them all with a 14650 and a short blank. Gives a little extra run time.
I have a few of the Titanium Innovations Lithium primaries (I think they’re considered 14505s), they’re 3V cells. I bought them to see if they’d run the XM-Ls in my Mini-Mag shorty’s but no such luck.
They do hold their charge like any Lithium primary but not much capacity.
After sitting in a draw for a few years I tried one in my L3 Illumination L10C (XP-L 7A3). Though I haven’t taken any measurements my eye tells me it’s noticeably brighter in all modes than when using NiMH.
Not a bad battery for a walking around the house at night or back-up light but I won’t buy any more, not worth the extra cost.
These 3.6V lithium primaries (lithium-thionyl chloride) are no good at all for flashlights.
They are designed for low current applications with years of runtime. There they excel with more capacity than any other battery type.
