Can Lithium AA batteries be charged in a normal charger?

The only rechargeable ones I can think of that are close to AA (the
14500 cell) are 3.6V and need a special charger.

dan.

And I have a torch that can use anything from 1.2 to 4.5 volts (or
something like that). Can run on rechargeable or primary cells,
alkaline, NiMH or Lithium - so long as they are AA size. But what I
don't seem able to find out is whether there is anything to be gained by
using 14500 lithium cells.

I really don't want to buy another charger unless there is a significant
gain. (Especially as many of the cheaper ones have US plugs.) Like last
much longer. Remain charged for ever. Provide higher current. Anyone
tell me?
