Assuming it is OK to use them, Will the voltage difference (3v vs. 2.4v to start throw the battery gauge off, and even cause some problem with the detector operation? It would save a bit of $ over time!
> How about Lithium? Lasts a long time in Camera's, and can not handle a sharp discharge in a short period of time. The SOLO S2 does not seem like it will cause this problem (similar drain to a digital camera.)
Thanks!
