There is a new generation of li-on AA like Tenavolt AA or Kentili AA (review). These appear to support voltage firmly at 1.5v until exhausted then just plummet. This is at the expense of capacity, and maybe of amp support.
Any one have any real world use with these?
I'm wondering if strobes might cycle faster and still have sufficient capacity for a single dive. Issues might be heat production (possibly more because of the electronics to pull down the voltage), inadequate amp support; the Kentli seems to crap out much past 1.5A. White Eneloops can do better. I don't know what something like a D2 or Z330 pulls at peak. It would need sufficient capacity for a single dive (say 150 flashes). I don't think they'd work well in situations where they had to support 2+ dives in a row. The actual li-on cell inside is pretty small.
