If I drain a L91 lithium AA battery down to between 1.5v and 1.6v, can I safely use it in a Fenix L1P? Also, will the lower internal resistance of the lithium AA hurt the L1P now or in the long run?

I haven't tried a lithium in mine, yet. I've read it is suppose to be fine, though.socom1970 said:If I drain a L91 lithium AA battery down to between 1.5v and 1.6v, can I safely use it in a Fenix L1P? Also, will the lower internal resistance of the lithium AA hurt the L1P now or in the long run?
nutz_about_lights said:Quite a bad idea if you ask me. Drained batteries have a very nasty tendancy to leak. And if you're going to use that in place of fresh lithiums I guess the probability you'll end up with a leaked L1 is 0.99999998...
Like the others said, fresh batteries should do fine.
Someone else posted that leaked Duracell 123As corroded the inside of their light (but Duracell did offer to replace the light), so I don't think lithiums don't leak, but a lot less likely than alkalines.VWTim said:I thought that was one of the advantage of Lithium Primaries? That they don't leak.
