FYI LiMnO2 is the chemistry used in a lot of coin cells (any battery that starts with "CR" is one, such as the CR2032 used for BIOS RTC/SRAM)
It's commonly used for items that will use very low-power for a very long time, with possible high-current pulses, which makes it great for alarms (it's also a common chemistry in "lifetime battery" smoke alarms, for example).
Larger lithium primary cells are a fire-risk (and are not permitted for passenger carry unless installed in a device).
