You have been given answers to your question, and still want to argue your
point.
Either use a battery that the manufacturer reccommends, be it alkaline or
lithium or hamster in a wheel connected to a generator.
OR, do what you so desperately want to do and want us to approve of (which
no one here most likely will) and accept the consequences. I know what i
would do.
RTFM and follow the instructions
they dont hold charge long enough.
most alkaline will disharge slow enough to supply for a year.
most ni-cad ni-mh and other will retain adequate charge only for abt a
month, then need refresh
standard alkaline and zinc/acid batts actually create power from a
chemical
reaction,
recharge types ones are only poor storage devices.

Lithium Batteries
What is a Lithium Battery?
It's a battery that uses lithium metal or a lithium aluminum alloy in
its negative electrode (anode) and manganese dioxide in its positive
electrode (cathode). SANYO's primary lithium battery (CR series) was
first released in 1976 and its secondary (rechargeable) lithium battery
(ML series) was released in 1989. These batteries meet market needs
with their high technology and superior quality.
CR Series Features
High operating voltage of 3V and high energy density
Wide operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C (depending on type)
Low self-discharge rate (0.5% per year at room temperature)
High capacity cylindrical type
UL approved
SO9002 certified
ML Series Features
High operating voltage of 2.5V
Wide operating temperature range: -20°C to 60°C
Low self-discharge rate (2% per year at room temperature)
Superior charge and discharge cycle
Able to charge at 2.8V
UL approved
