I got one of these headlamps for my birthday and is uses a little 6V battery. I would like to swap this out with a lithium battery but havent been able to find one around town yet in any stores. I looked at a few rinky dink camera shops but havent checked out Radio Shack yet. Anyone know where I can get my hands on a lithium 6 volt or two?

Cheers!!

There was a review on BPL when it came out:

"Note: To improve cold weather performance there is a 6v 160 mAh lithium photo cell option for the Ion (not tested in this review). Replace the manufacturer provided battery with a Radio Shack battery part number 23-266. Battery designations for other manufacturers are 2CR-1/3N, L544BP, PX28L, K28L."

I've had good luck with Battery Junction.com.

It looks like they have those 6V lithiums.
