I'm also currious if it is ok to use lithiums in the HP11.

I suspect it has been designed to run @ 1.2V x4 = some 4.8V only.
4x 14500 lithiums @ 3.7V each, would mean 4x 3.7V = 14.8 volts, so probably unlikely unless the circuit is designed to take that level of voltage...

Note that they almost CERTAINLY mean 'Energizer Lithium AA' (1.7v nominal) rather than a LiSomething 3.0v nominal. If you're brave enough to try triple voltage, let us know how that works out.

Mine works very well with Energizer lithium AAs. Some improvement in running time, also. When overheated on high it will automatically switch to a lower mode anyway, regardeless of what batteries you use.
I prefer Eneloop XX - better running times than Nimh, much cheaper than primary AA batts, and they work in freezing temperatures also.
