NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!  Do not even THINK of using lithium batteries!  They
develop 3V per cell, whereas the AAA's the TI requires only develop 1.5V
So, even if you could find AAA sized lithium's, you'd be frying your
calc with 2X normal voltage.  If you want better efficieny, go with the
Rayovac Renewals. (NiCds don't work)
