I have used Sanyo NIMH 2700's in my 2A 3A with no problems at all.

I've used 2500mah Eveready NiMh and Sanyo Eneloops in my MagLED 2AA. I'd think if they work in the 2aa, they will work with the 3AA.

I seem to recall someone saying to not use lithiums, since they will give too much voltage.

I also have been using Ni-MH in my MagLEDs, with no problems whatsoever.
Unlike the 2AA MagLED, which just blinks out when the batteries are low, the 3AA MagLED is a real battery squeezer.
It will just get dimmer and dimmer, never blinking out.
I tried to drain 3 AA alkalines, and there was still enough light to read by, even though each cells voltage was down to 0.975v each. Don't drain your rechargeables this low, it could damage them...:green:

Yes, it does put out more light than the 2AA, and this may help with the advantages of the various battery types as well:
