Does anyone make primary Lithium C and D cell batteries?

In battery specifications, the third line down it says:
Non-rechargeable battery ( lithium ) D 1.5V useable.

After reading this I decided to get a set of D cell lithium primaries as a backup. But after searching the web a couple times I never found any. Either they exist somewhere or translating the Tk70 directions from Chinese to English has yielded some interesting results.

Here is a section from the TK70 manual:In battery specifications, the third line down it says:Non-rechargeable battery ( lithium ) D 1.5V useable.After reading this I decided to get a set of D cell lithium primaries as a backup.

As others have mentioned here, and in other forum posts, the alkaline battery can't deliver the amount of current needed to bring the TK70 to full output, and the runtime would be ridiculously low. Alkalines would be a bad investment for this light, other than just as emergency batteries (If you're unable to feed the light with NiMh batteries - but at the expense of lower output and shorter runtime.

As for the third line on the instructions picture you posted, I don't think that line should exist at all. They've already mentioned using D-sized Ni-Mh batteries as being the basis for their runtime/output testing, on their website; so that is what I'd use, to obtain the most predictable results. I'd find the highest capacity, reputable NiMh batteries you could find for that light, and a good charger to charge them, which should give you the best output, the longest runtimes, and the lowest expense, over time, once you've charged the batteries enough times to pay for themselves.

I think these are great ideas in the right setting.

I have found that the bears and two legged predators like to mess with things. If it isn't inside a neat little steal box it won't be there next year.

I agree. I don't have problems with the 2-legged predators but every now & then have problems with bears. In the problem bear areas i like to use camera mounts like these to get the camera of the ground 9-10' and then will strap external battery pack to tree somehow. Of course, in the areas with heavy tree canopy the solar doesn't help much but there still enough juice in battery to keep em running. '

These are some cheap camera mounts i use when mounting them off the ground a ways.
