In a P7 I would expect that a bunch of 10440's in series would burn the emitter immediately and a bunch of 14500's in a P14 to do the same.

Just a guess of course...........

Yes, it will fry the poor LED immediately. With just 1 of those Lithium rechargeables you have not enough voltage (because a resistor is built in). 2 primaries (e.g. CR123s) in a special battery holder probably might fry it, too (though they have 6V, like the Alkies). If you consider Alkaline vs. Lithium performance...;)
