Lithium thionyl chloride cells are in fact used in MILLIONS of remote, wireless devices such as AMR meters, RFID toll transponders, wireless sensors, GPS tracking devices, etc. In fact, a very large utility has AMR devices made by ACLARA (formerly Hexagram) entering their 24th year of operation on their original lithium cells.
Why invest in an expensive, unproven technology, that needs batteries anyway for back up power, when lithium batteries are proven and inexpensive?
