It *may* be a catalog misprint *if*and only if that was the only source of information ... I have nothing substantive to contribute save the above and this: A mistake cannot be ruled out as a chemist/physicists/engineers probably did not write the 'copy' in this catalog and I can see some catalog designer seeing "AA" and assuming "1.5V".

How do they do that with lithium? >>Different chemistry. It's not a 3V cell with voltage drop diode. AFAIK lithium chemistry is 3V. How did you manage to pry this info out of Radio Shack? -- Mel Evans mevans1027@aol.com -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
