[pct-l] OT: lithium batteries in Canon cameras

[Deems]

I have a Canon Powershot A540 which uses AA batteries. Canon's website
for this camera says not to use lithium cells as they may overheat and
damage the camera. Has anyone used lithium AA cells in Canon cameras
when Canon said not to use them? what was your experience?

I never noticed that in my A70 book, but it does say not to use lithiums due 
to overheating on page21. I used lithiums on my JMT hike, getting about 400 
shots per set of 4. The camera is still ok, but It's your call. I liked the 
lighter weight and greater performance.
