Unlike traditional alkaline and 1.2V NiMH batteries that experience voltage drops over time, the rechargeable 1.5V Li-ion batteries can maintain a stable 1.5V output throughout the usage, this characteristic makes these 1.5V Li-ion batteries are very suitable for devices that require long-term, steady high-voltage output. You may have a multitude of devices that can benefit from the higher voltage and medium draw. Has anyone tried the rechargeable 1.5V Li-ion AA/AAA batteries in your dive lights? Btw, what devices do you want to use the rechargeable 1.5V Li-ion batteries on? Welcome to comment below!
 
I find them hard to locate and very expensive once I do.

I was looking to source some to make packs for some friends' Megaladon rebreathers as they get through the alkaline packs I make very quickly. It was a bit too costly to go ahead.

Yours look good but your warning about charging would be a problem as I'd need to put 5 cells in series with a spot welder and then charge with a constant voltage supply.
 
Thanks for your kind comment. May I know what kind of charger you are looking for? We have this BC8 charger which can charge rechargeable 1.5V and 1.2V AA/AAA batteries for your reference:

And now we are holding a campaign online about 1.5V XTAR Lithium battery reviewers wanted. If you are interested in testing it, can submit the application here: Reviewer Recruitment
