Alkaline or Lithium?

We had been watching Ben's fish several months ago when he moved into his new place.  We were happy to do it, and the kids really enjoyed having the fish to watch despite the fact that they are nowhere near as exciting to watch as Sarah's hamsters - er, hamster.  We had tried our best to care and feed for the fish, but they weren't any good at coming up to us in the house and sitting in front of us with sad looks on their faces like our dog does.  Inevitably, one or two of them didn't make it through their stay at the house.

One day, when Ben was over, he took Harper over to the tank so that she could help feed them.  When they got to the tank, there was one unfortunate fish chilling at the top of the tank near the filter inlet (need I say more?), and Harper turns to Ben and says,

"That one is out of batteries."
