Terje, As Chip has already said, "If there is a * next to the AE button then it's OK to use lithium cells with your EOS 1n"
I used them for a while in order to save a little weight. I stopped because they go flat with little or no warning. It was not uncommon for the Booster's battery check to show full power at the start of a roll, then shut down before the end. If I was lucky(?) the drive speed would drop, for a few frames, before stopping completely. I've not used them for about two years, so their characteristics may have changed.
