(QUESTION)

I've used lithium batteries in the winter (in my Petzl TIKKA-plus), and they seem to perform better - and it's lighter. But, Petzl claims that LITHIUM batteries can damage their headlamps.

HERE'S MY QUESTION:
Is there any recommendation by princeton NOT to use LITHIUM batteries?

If Princeton say it's okay to use LITHIUM batteries, that would be a huge advantage, and it would make their product very desirable to me. Is it okay?
