The owner's manual says to use two 1.5 v alkaline (A76) or silver oxide (EPX76) mini-batteries. I can find no prohibition against the use of lithium batteries. However silver oxide batteries last so long, and are so plentiful, I see no reason to go to lithium. . . My LX came with Varta V76PX batter

Hi Keith ... I have a 3v lith in my newer LX, and it's been pumping out the current faithfully for a bit more than two years. Unfortunately, there's no model/size designation that I can find on the battery. Varta is no longer making or selling batteries here. They have been taken over by Rayova

So, are you saying NOT to use lithiums in an LX, or that it's OK to use 'em? Mark Roberts wrote: > Lithiums have, I believe, much higher surge current capacity, so they > could potentially damage inductive devices like motors when they try to > draw a lot of current on start-up. Many manufacturer

previously written: Anyway, the silver oxide bats in one of my LX gave out yesterday right in the middle of shooting, and since it's replacement time, I'd like to go with the definitely (for me) longer lasting lithiums. A volt is a volt, what diff should it make if it comes from a lith or an alkal

DL1/3N, 2L76 or CR1/3N are the designations. I have used these lithiums in six LX's (I no longer have six but I got carried away at one stage) they have worked fine and these double sized 3V batteries eliminate the contact between the two smaller 1.5s which has to be a good thing. handmaid
