I've just ordered a set and will post the results to my page when I get them 
in and tested.

Caveat:
At the bottom of the Batteryspace page linked above, there is a "Related 
Products" section. One of these items is a Lithium-Ion (as opposed to a 
regular Lithium non-rechargeables on the main part of that page) battery in 
an AA package.
See: http://batteryspace.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1336
This is a bad idea - be careful! The cell voltage of this "AA cell" is 3.7. 
Put six of these in your KX1 and you'll be lighting it up with 22 VDC!
