It has been done. I don't think it increases brightness by twice but it does increase, by report. Yes those batteries are pricey though. You might check Battery Station.
Hope that helps.

It doesn't double the output. I used a 3V AA (1/2 of a CRV-3)and it made the beam a bit brighter but much bluer (overdriven). Also, it heated up quite a bit, whereas running on 1.5-1.7V there is no heat buildup at all. I don't know if that's too good for your light. But that's just my experience.

I think there are several types of 3.6V lithium batteries. The kind I got (Li-thionyl-chloride) are 3.7 V but have very low current capacity (< 30 mA I think), so they can direct drive some LEDs but drive most boosted lights less brightly than a regular Alkaline. I was trying to get the high current type but made a mistake.
