Those would be known as "carbon-zinc" batteries. We tend to name our
battery types based on what chemicals are used to store/provide power. I'm not
sure you can even buy them in the standard letter-graded battery types anymore.
Certainly not from major companies like Duracell or Energizer.

LI batteries also have the huge drawback that they require a complicated
power-management system to recharge them, which is why rechargable LI batteries
are usually left to stuff like laptop computers and video cameras, which are big
enough to hold onboard power-management systems.
