Battery Question: Is there any *compatible* 3V Li-Ion packs for the Canon Powershot SX150?

I don't want to keep using NiMH AA batteries all of the time, because the camera occasionally detects them as DEAD when they're fully charged. I spotted a few that were rated at 3V (not anything higher), and they listed a variety except my camera, and I know 14500 types will only damage the camera due to the voltage being more than double that of NiMH and alkaline types, so my research was limited to what I could find using creative search terms.

The two are linked here:

Will they even work? Has anyone tried them? I just don't want to waste any money, I just want to be able to be worry-free about not having to carry a cassette tape holder full of AA's with me all the time, thanks a bunch!

    They don't list your camera as being compatible. I wouldn't use them. Your manual probably tells you to use Alkaline and NiMH batteries only, so that is what I would use. You should be getting close to 400 shots on a charge. Have you purchased cheap NiMH batteries? That could be your problem. Nothing beats quality.
