I have never tried that. But, I have read some posts about using LiIon batteries to power it. You will lose modes and will get turbo mode only until the battery voltage drops to a certain point (I don't remember it, but I guess something close to 3.3 volts).

The behavior of the flashlight will vary depending on the Vf of your particular LED, there is no way to predict how your flashlight will tolerate the 3.7V cell until you take the chance. I personally don't recommend it as a number of users have reported burning out their electronics with 3.7V cells in P1D and P2D flashlights.
You're at the mercy of luck of the draw on your Vf here, are you willing to take the chance?
Why not just sell the P2D and buy one of the MANY 3.7V compatible 1xCR123 compatible flashlights out there, so as not to sacrifice reliability.
If you are in love with the P2D, and must have rechargeable cells for it, I suggest taking the hit on runtime and going with some LiFeP04 cells, which operate around 3V.

Yes, totally crappy capacity, as in, "take the hit on runtime."
