Anyone using lithium 9v in Quickie?  They tend to be much higher in mAH rating so seem like a good alternative to NiMH and NiCD.  Easy enough to get 8.4v versions which should be just peachy.

Further info/ correction from the other rechargeable post: My D cells are NiMH, they didn't last nearly as long as the alkaline set, but I have a second pair that didn't lose much juice sitting on the shelf. The 9Vs are Lithium, they were installed late in August and still show 31+V.

I'll just note that a great many rechargeable "D cells" are actually a smaller cell in a larger can. The real-deal cells are often more than twice as costly but have much greater longevity.

With most of those rechargable batteries the best way to measure them is by weight as the mAh rating is usually BS to put it bluntly.
