It became a problem many years ago with stun guns. The Nova stun guns came with 7.2V ni-cads, same size as an alkaline 9V. They ran fine on the ni-cads, but if you put a 9V battery in, it would burn the victim.
I tried rechargeables for awhile, but they were too much trouble.

C's...... A new energizer is about 1.63 volts , out the pack
and when it gets around 1.3 volts the camera says its time to change
the batteries , if I don't it soons shuts down.........at least these
are the readings off my volt meter...... I put these used batteries
in flashlights for walking around the camp, which don't last long..

than the nicad's......????????????????????????

I said Lithium, I should have said Lithium Ion. The regular Lithium batteries you buy across the counter will explode if you try to recharge them. I need to be careful what I say.
PS, Happy New Year to Michelle, you and the kids. Where you been? I haven't seen you on line for a couple of days. I'm taking Sandy to see her mother on New Years, and I have to be back at work Thursday. When the river land dries out, we need to get together and do some shooting.

As for Lithim Ion, I love 'em, they last longer and work better in cell phones, and have no "memory" and can be left in the charger too long without damaging them, unlike some of the older NiCads.
Some Lithium batteries are too strong for some appliances made for a regular 9-volt. I've blown the circuit breaker on one of my pieces of musical equipment, trying to use a Lithium 9-volt in a battery-powered item designed for an alkaline 9 volt.
So keep your chargers separated out, and use the right charger for the right type of rechargeable battery. And don't plan on using Lithiums in all gadgets designed for alkalines.
