Two unsolved mysteries plagueing me: #1 What difference does it make for the grip whether the LR6's are alkaline or lithium? I don't understand how come, do they need to be approached in a different way?
#2 Ow, and don't NiCd or NiMH (1.2V) batteries work in BG's/FG's? And how should the switch be positioned then?
