Are these OK for use in a L1D to give L2D performance ??

You need to find out what the maximum current they can supply continuously. I have come across lithium batterys like these with a maximum constant current rating of 25ma thats not a typo by the way. See if you can get the part number of the battery from the ebay vendor so you can do a search on the specification of the battery. You will need to do a search on CPF aswell to find out what current the LID sucks from the battery.

Those are memory batteries, designed for CMOS backup, clock backup, etc.

They are very low current drain and not suitable for flashlight use.

This subject comes up repeatedly, as new members discover the 3V lithium computer memory batteries (SAFT, LISUN, etc.). Here are some links to other threads about this type of battery:

You can also find some info about them in my "JIL info" post (and the rest of the thread):

The way to get a 3V AA-size lithium cell that can deliver enough current to drive a LED is to take a CRV3 battery apart, see this thread for info and discussion:
