Yup. Not for phones, but maybe something that doesn't require much power, and would benefit from a very long battery life.

Maybe things like doorbells in situations where connecting them to mains electricity is too cumbersome a process.

Or fire alarms. I know of a couple of foolish people who, when the batteries died, they didn't bother putting new ones in.

There are lots of possibilities for this type of battery.
