Vivitar Vpower Lithium batteries

[bbobbo]

does anybody have any experience with these:

0 reviews on amazon and the fact that vivitar calls them "lithium ion" on their own website (http://www.vivitar.com/products/14/batteries-and-chargers/670/v-4aa-li) doesn't give me much confidence, but they are generally cheaper than energizer ultimate lithiums and eligible for amazon prime.

Interesting, I think they mean for it to be a regular ~1.7 voltage range but it doesn't say anywhere.
AFAIK energizer has a patent on lithium primaries.

if you click on the 4-pack of AA, it shows the retail packaging. it says 1.5v (not sure if that's what you mean).

maybe vivitar licensed the technology?

i ordered a 4-pack just to see what it was about. i can post pictures if people are interested.

Instead of pictures why don't you do some capacity testing. :)

i've never done any testing before. what would that entail?

It's basically discharging under a known constant load and then figuring out capacity based on that.
