3.6V lithium AA in an Arc LS?

hoss · Aug 28, 2002

Any problems with using a 3.6V lithium battery in the single AA version of the LS?

I've got a few laying around that I would like to use up when I get my new LS.

Technical explanations appreciated. Thanks.

I think people have said before that the 3.6v AA lithiums are made for low drain devices and can't provide the current that a LS must draw from the battery.

I just found this rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack though and it appears the cells inside are of AA size. If the Arc-LS can handle the 3.6v then they might just work.

Back in April or May I put a 3.6v Li in the aa holder and turned on the LS. Things got pretty hot and the 50% dropoff came in about one hour. I reported on my findings back then but have forgotten the name of the thread.
