Hey John,
I've noticed that the "CRV3" sized LiIon cells(packs) are 3.6V. I was hoping for info on using 2(two) of them to replace 4(four) AA's. The overvoltage is handy in LED lights (makes them incredibley bright etc)&occurs when one uses 4 non-rechargeable AA li-ion cells as it is now. Perhaps the battery cases of the lights themselves can be modified(ie, fitting a square peg into a round hole...)?
Also, thanks for the understandable explanation re: not re-charging. Makes sense!
