If you get better detector performance out of lithium than alkaline it is a sign your detector is voltage starved. I would recommend Lithium if you are using 8 batteries on a detector. For 4 reasons
1 more power per pound of battery.
2 more power per battery.
3 better voltage match to load.
4 better discharge characteristics (voltage does not droop until the battery is almost dead).
