My Flightcoms do fine, voltage wise, down to the last NiMH drop...
Another reason for me to be happy I didn't spring for the Denali??
FWIW...
Like you, I ran into a situation with a smoke alarm where a 9v lithium
would not work... and it's voltage could be higher than an alkaline.
My hopes were to go keep from changing batteries annually.
A 10 year lithium application seemed like a grrreat idea.
