I gave some of those away on past trips to folks who could use them, although at the time I bound a lot that had .5 watt led's and ran on one double A with some type of a booster circuit.  Once I found those I bought them because I thought they would be easier to keep operating where humidity and lack of batteries would take their toll.  I retrofitted them with the energizer lithium batteries for the trip to give them a bit more life before battery replacement.  I like the idea of the lithium iron phosphate batteries though because I figure I could pretty easily rig a charger for one off of the 12V available from the small batteries with the solar lights, and at $46 for 50 the lights themselves would be less than the batteries and if I grease up the inner threads and spring contacts well they could likely be kept running for quite a while even under those conditions.  Rich
