I don't know how it would damage it. Energizer lithiums put out 1.5 volts just as standard batteries do. I would not use 10440s

Energizer lithiums put out 1.7 to 1.8 volts on average, they put 1.5 volts on the package to avoid confusion for buyers.

I use the Engergizer Ultimate Lithiums in my XL50. No issues whatsoever. Somewhere I read/heard that even though the voltage is around 1.78 unloaded, it drops to a level consistent with alkalines when put under a load; therefore, the initial voltage is a non-issue. And that the lithiums will stay flatter at the loaded voltage longer than an alkaline. Plus it's nice that the lithiums are about 1/3 lighter! Does anyone else concur?

Yeah, I also run the Ultimate Lithiums in my XL100 because they are lighter. I have not noticed any problems whatsoever. All the modes seem to still work properly.

And, No leaks. Alkalines in my things have been leaking of late.
I do not use alkalines anymore, in AA, or AAA.

I've only used EA92's in my XL-series lights for testing because the standby drain becomes costly with lithiums. I imagine that the XL200 will benefit even more from lithiums because it draws about 900mA, but most of the time I use NiMH because it's cheap.
