I don't think you have to let the batteries sit overnight, I think 3 hours should drop the voltage enough to not cause instaflash on the bulb. If you do want to go with lithium batteries, fivemega sells 14500 X 9 to 3D battery carriers.

The brightness should be about the same because of no voltage sag, but I do not actually have this setup so I am not sure.
Hope that Helps.
