I kind of think that there is more smoke than fire to the issue. Li-Ion are 3.6v cells. They should be fine in any camera that is designed to use CR-V3's, however some devices that are designed for AA cells will actually allow a CR-V3 to fit. Neither of the CR-V3 batteries, one-use or rechargeable, should be used in those as they are designed for 4.8-6v rather than 6-7.2v. Many devices do not specify newer batteries as OK simply because they were not available when the device was manufactured. However, please remember that some lithium-ion batteries made a couple of years ago were defective and could damage even devices made for them.
The above is my opinion, and if it blows up your camera or flash, that is your problem <grin>. -- graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com http://webpages.charter.net/graywolf "Idiot Proof" <==> "Expert Proof" ----------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Since I've got the attention of you electronics-savvy folks, I have another > battery-related question for you: > > I found out at the following link that some rechargeable Li-ion CR-V3 > batteries > put out more than 3v of juice. > http://www.steves-digicams.com/nimh_batteries.html#crv3 > How does one find out if a camera (or other device) can handle this extra > output?
