Has anybody tried this combo yet?
I'm trying to compare the ArcFinity with the Infinity Ultra and while the Arc still wins with standard Alkalines, I'd like to compare using the AA sized 3.6v lithium which is what I usually use in my Infinities.

The battery might not appreciate it. Lithium thionyl chloride technology is not made for delivering more than 10 or 20 milliamps (out the the AA size) on a continuous basis. These batteries were originally made to be used as the power source for CMOS computer memory backup, with continuous drain in the microamp region.

Not sure how the Arc itself would handle the extra voltage.
