Just purchased a Sony Cybershot DSC-H1 digital camera.
It came with 2 NIMH AA batteries. The manual says...

You can not use lithium batteries. I have always used non
rechargeable lithium AA's for emergency back ups. Why
doesn't Sony want these batteries used?

One other thing that I have heard but can not verify is that the cells may
give off fumes that will eat the case or compinents of the camera. It comes
from the unverified story that the FAA will not certify them for the
emergency locator beacons as the fumes eat the airframes.
