You need to use an Alkaline or better battery anyway in some
detectors. This is due to the battery discharge curve. They need to
maintain the full 9 volts as long as possible to be effective.

Alkalines keep their voltage right up to the end.

I agree, the detector with a lithium for $15 to $18 is a good way to
go.
