Quoted from Breaking_Dad:

I've wondered this since day one....someone posted that it's not a good idea but I can't remember the reason he gave..................Joey

I think it's because there's a very very slim potential for a lithium battery to explode. I have never heard of this happening outside of someone installing Lithiums in an old game that required a blocking diode. Has anyone had a lithium explode or leak in a modern game? I typically either make my own $3 remote battery holder (using dowel rods) or use Lithium AA's and have never had an issue.
