lithium batteries for the Oregon

[+Bad Duck]

I have read every forum page I could find. Read the garminwiki page and I have found little about using lithium batteries. Seems to just be mentioned but nothing about real life experience. Anybody using lithium and how does it compare to the Nimh's? What brands etc..

I use Lithium batteries and the unit and it works fine my software has a setting for lithium batteries as well do you have the latest version installed??

Lithiums work great especially in cold weather but are a bit expensive - I use Rayovac Hybrid NiMH re-chargeables and get 10-12 hours on a charge.

A bit more research I did. Being into r/c planes and the lipoly batteries there I was thinking along that lines. Or a lithium ion as in my explorist. But I see that the Oregon takes a non rechargeable AA lithium battery. About two bucks a battery. So I'll join the club and use the Nimh rechargeables.
