Which chemistry are YOU talking about?  There seem to be at
least 4 major classes of chemistry involved, and some of them
have several subclasses.  (hmm.  Li/FeS and Li/Fe2S at 1.5V "nominal",
Li/MnO2 at 3V, Li/Thionl-chloride (sp?) at 3.6V, and Li/ion at 4.1 or
4.2V (but also "3.6V nominal" or so.))

I was referring to reports on Candlepower forums that the Energizer
"L92" style Li battery (aimed at digital cameras, nominally 1.5V)
put out 1.75V fresh, while some of the clones put out as much as 2V.
(I think these are Li/FeS of some variety.)
