The manual says not to use lithium AA's with the Canon BP-300 battery pack for the EOS-30. One thread on greenspun.com has a posted who says it's because the initial high current could damage the electronics.

OTOH when I had my EOS-50E I'd been using Lithium AA's for a long time with the battery pack. Has anyone used Li-AA's with their BP-300? Any problems or electronics frying up? I'm curious, since the standard CR123 batteries used on the EOS-30 are lithiums.
 

so far I am using Ni-MH AA battery with no problem for my EOS 30 + BP300 ...
 

I believe NiMH's are OK but it's printed on the BP-300 that you're not supposed to use Lithiums. Anyone ?
 

Yes, Don't not use lithium AA in BP300, written on the manual for BP200 too.
 

i believe something to do with the high current draw...

but why use them? alkalines are so cheap and can last a bloody long long time....

Simple, lithum batts last even longer and are extremely light when you compare it to the rest.

of cse i know tat but alkalines last long enough and dirt cheap. a trek of > 10 days dont even wear them out, i usually can last 20++ rolls

......and when i trek in most weather they are less prone to erratic climates....

maybe im easily satisfied....well...each his own
