Trying to find aa sized lions that can ouput 1.5 volts

There are zero accounts of energizer lithium killing devices that I'm aware of.

I know that Canon advises it's users not to use Lithium AAs in Canon speedlite Flash heads but it's because they can overheat in rare cases.
So maybe not directly killing the device but ..... just saying.

Wow the discussion lights off while I sleep
Sta, I tried to explain the chemistry thing to my dad but we found some with a circuit that reduces output to 1.5v.

Admittedly, as with any other subject, there will be outliers. Thanks for pointing one out. However, 1.8V open-circuit of e² compared with 1.6V open-circuit of alkaline is a difference of only 12%. As far as running voltage specs are concerned, 12% is a small margin.

It's like running a 110V appliance at 123V. If that is enough to kill the device, you've not designed the thing properly. Let's not blame the power source for engineering oversights :shhh:

I don't see the problem with being proven wrong and I don't see why so many people are opposed to it. It means I've replaced a bad idea with a good idea. By all means, continue to "chase me"

I've been here three years, first time I went looking for you posting on more battery stuff... It was a one time deal for me, I have better things to do. However, you chase everyone here looking to enlighten! Probably have had a lot to do with keeping people straight and stopping disasters from some of the bad advice some give out from time to time.
