  • I think he's talking about the kind that have a lithium battery in and circuitry to produce 1.5 volts, rather than the lower voltages others produce.

    I've not used them personally but from what I've heard they work as advertised. One problem is that they produce too constant a voltage so you don't get any warning of a low battery, though some try to simulate that. Also quite spendy.

    Surely not a huge issue? Just have a spare lying around. When it dies, swap out and recharge.

    These things are upwards of £10 per battery. And a lot of things that take D cells take lots of them.
