Lithium Ion AA size, charger?

[Polar_Hops]

Hi, I was wondering if there was a place where i could get a lithium ion in a AA size. You see, i want to try to use it for a pill (lambda's minipro) when it becomes avaliable, and I'd like to have it running from a cut down minimag.

I think this should work. I just dont know HOW to charge them.

Also, since the pill acts as a booster, it will probably drain the cells beyond their critical discharge point, where it damages the battery. I have a set of pilas. Does anyone know if there are protected cells (from overcharge and discharge) in the AA size?

Thanks for any help i recieve!

you can buy pre-fab chargers.. if you have soldering skills you can buy the charger chips and build one.. i will sell a 'DIY' kit for LiON charger for $10..

http://charger.rouse.com will show you the charger you can make and the directions so you can see if it's beyond your capabilities.
