Subject: Re: lithium vs. ni-cad battery?

yes. i've checked this multiple times, and even replaced them the 2nd time i swapped the battery.

i guess what i really need to know is this: would a lithium battery work in the circuit, or no? would it require modification to do so? i thought i could just drop in a lithium, but apparently, i have been told that's not the case. trying to confirm or deny this. thanks-rj

is anyone successfully using lithium battery in P6?
