A friend of mine is a Search & Rescue professional & tells me that he can't use lithium AA batteries with a Petzl Myo headlamp because the batteries will burn out the Xenon bulb.
He probably knows what he's talking about, but now I'm scratching my head as to why that would happen. I thought the device would just pull what it needs, but I guess it gets too much current from these more potent batteries.
The batteries are just 1.5 volt.

Here's the headlamp.

If anyone knows of high intensity Xenon powered headlamps that can use lithium batteries, I'd sure like to pass that info. on to him. He needs the lithiums because of the extended runtime & their ability to work in cold weather.
He's in Canada, heh.
