N cell lithium

[batmanacw]

Does anyone make a lithium version of the N battery? I have a very nice Eotech sight that takes the N batts, but they are not known for their longevity.

You would have a problem with the voltage. An N-cell alkaline is 1.5v, but a lithium primary would be 3v, which would blow your light. I don't think these are made anyway (I could be wrong).

There is a Li-Ion rechargeable cell, the 10280, which is the same size as an N-cell, but this is 4.2v fully charged (3.7v nominal) - so you would have the same voltage problem.

However there are MiMH cells that size available. These would probably be the best solution for you as the voltage would be the same as alkaline cells.

MiMH?

MiMH?

LOL - typo. NiMH.

Some old HP calcs use this battery as well. NiMH sources:
