 I think you are talking about lithium *ion* batteries, specifically Sony
batteries in Dell laptop computers. 

Whole different animal.

I've been seeing some news reports about lithium batteries overheating and
causing fires. Anyone have experience with Lithium AAs getting hot?

I used Lithium AAs in my Garmin Vista C on my last trip with no problems. Re
the display choices of Alk. or Nimh, the only thing that setting does is
make your battery life indicator more accurate. It has no effect on how the
Garmin uses the batteries or the life of the batteries. I got this directly
from Garmin as I was concerned when I started using a GPS.
