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

[Tortoise]

Thanks to all who responded and advise of their successful experiences 
using lithium batteries.

I also remembered the old guarantees by battery makers about damage to 
stuff so read the back of my 4 pack of Energizer lithium batteries. 
Energizer says it will repair or replace any device damaged by their 
batteries except if batteries are charged by the device or user.  So we 
have a guarantee. I doubt I will need the guarantee, but hoping it works 
if ever needed.

Years ago I recall getting a flashlite replaced when some old 
zinc-carbon batteries leaked.
