No --- Maglite only recommends alkaline cells for this light.lightUup said:

I have used them without any problems. I also used NiMH without problems and I think that Mag does not recommend them either.
If you want to be safe, stick with the recommendations from Mag. Most people here don't seem to be the kind of people who stick with the manufacturers recommendations. For example, Surefire says that rechargeable batteries will void their warranty and that does not seem to disuade many including me from using them.
Good luck with your choice.

I have tried 2 14500 3.7 v lith-ion batteries in my minimag LED and it would not turn on at all. Must have some overvoltage circuit protection. I have used the NIMH AA with no problem.

I was willing to take the risk. Not too expensive of a light. Maybe one 14500 and a dummy AA cell would actually work.

Holy over-voltage Batman. That is 8.4 volts fresh off the charger for a light that is meant to take 3 volts:huh2:

flashlightreviews did nimh vs alkaline test in the mag led review, the mag actually ran longer on the nimh. the mini mag might be similar. i dunno about lithium
