[Shop-talk] Did we ever come to a conclusion about lithium-iontools?

Oops, you're quite right, David.  The rechargeable ones are NiMH; the
lithium-iron (not lithium-ion) AA cells I tried were disposables rather than
rechargeable.    My apologies to all for the misinformation.

The basic voltage of a Li-ion cell is 3.6v, so no way to make an AA substitute
without incorporating a DC-DC converter or using dummy cells.  I doubt we'll
ever see either solution on the market.
