Where can one find rechargeable AA Lithium batteries? Any safe way to
recharge those "non-rechargeable" Li AA batteries?


It's just not worth burning the shop to the ground to save a couple bucks
(in my opinion), just buy a name-brand rechargeable and be done with it.

WHICH name-brand rechargeable Lithium AA batteries are you referring to?

Many devices designed to operate on a pair of AA cells can also use the
RCR-3V Li+ cells (depending on the shape of the battery compartment).

A few manufacturers are shown he

Thanks, but I was really hoping for some rechargeable AA Lithium batteries
to plug into my the battery compartment of my handheld GPS. My experience
with disposable AA Li batteries is that they last a heck of alot longer than
2300 mAH NiMH AA`s. So I was hoping for something in this generic form.
The key of course, is the compartment size issue.

If you are near a BJs, they have Panasonic AA or AAA NIMH cells and a charger for a very attractive price. Capacity of 2100mAh for the AAs- not the highest capacity available, but close.

days?

In this life you get what you pay for. Look at this charger. You pay a
little more but it's so much better. Compare the specs. I own it
and know how well it charges and keeps the batteries charged by
trickle charging.

If you think that in this life you get what you pay for, go down to the
local car dealer, price a car, and then come to me. I will buy it from
them, then mark it up by 50% and sell it to you. As you drive off, you will
be saying "Wow, I got a car that is 50% better, because I paid 50% more for
it. You get what you pay for."

Go ahead, try it with anything that you buy.

Yes, you certainly do get what you pay for. Cheap chargers are really
hard on the batteries; before I had a good microprocessor controlled
charger, I had cells die after only a dozen or so charge cycles. For a
little more money you get a charger that'll make your batteries last a lot
longer. The best chargers charge & monitor each cell individually instead
of in pairs. The MH-C401FS was the best on the market when I got mine,
and worth every penny.
